As per Anthony Joseph, former club captain Daniel Bachmann is set to join League One Leyton Orient on a permanent deal.
This would see his loan move to Deportivo La Coruna terminated as he returns to English Football.
The Austrian shot-stopper played a large role throughout his time at the Hornets over the past 7 years.
Daniel Bachmann was involved in one promotion campaign for Watford, where he kept five clean sheets that season, as well as a short stint in part of the 2020/21 Premier League season.
After successes, the goalkeeper fell out of favour under a handful of different managers in recent seasons, to Ben Hamer, who’s currently at QPR, and Egil Selvik, who joined Watford last January.
The Austrian is a very good keeper, especially at this level of football.
Bachmann has international experience with Austria, including a friendly against England pre Euro 2020.
He is a very good shot-stopper when called upon and is usually good from penalties, as he saved 2 out of 3 that he faced in the 23/24 season for the Hornets.
Bachmann, however, was vulnerable to set pieces during his time at Watford and is quite weak at claiming the ball from crosses.
All in all, a very smart signing from the League One side, which definitely adds quality in that position and could be the boost to lift Leyton Orient up the table.
