FA Women’s National League side Leyton Orient WFC have had their ties cut with the Brisbane Road club, who are setting up a new female section.

However, Orient have announced a new direction for its female football section for the 2021/22 season onwards, launching an Academy that will include age groups from U-9s to U-18s, supplemented by development centres and college programmes but initially the seniors will play at step six of the pyramid.
