Dossena completes shock Orient move

League One Leyton Orient have completed the signing of former Liverpool full back Andrea Dossena, according to the Mail Online.

The Italy international spent last season at Sunderland, but made only eleven appearances in all competitions before leaving the club at the end of the campaign.
