There’s a long list of free agents still available who have bags of League One experience.

It's all eyes on the action on the pitch in League One now with the transfer window slamming shut on Friday evening.

Charlton Athletic got their business done early this summer, as Nathan Jones had hoped. Meanwhile, Leyton Orient strengthened with free transfers and loan moves.

Even though the window is shut, League One clubs can still make the most of the free agent market and LondonWorld looks at eight League One players still looking for a club who could tempt the Addicks and O's - market values as per Transfermarkt.

1 - Macauley Bonne - £230,000

The forward has played for both Charlton Athletic and Leyton Orient in the past. Bonne signed for Cambridge United from Gillingham in February to reunite with Neil Harris but the boss left the club for Millwall shortly after and the 28-year-old became a free agent this summer.

2 - Josh Martin - £250,000

The Norwich City graduate spent last year on loan at Portsmouth on a short term deal but played just nine times for the side. The winger does have five Premier League appearances to his name.
