Leyton Orient manager Martin Ling has clinched the permanent signing of loanee Alton Thelwell.
The 26-year-old former Tottenham defender has scored one goal in ten appearances for the O's since moving to Brisbane Road from Hull City in October.
"Making Alton's transfer permanent was extremely important for us, so I'm very pleased to get it done so early in the window," Ling told the club's official website.
"Since he's been at the club we've looked a lot more secure at the back and, even though he's missed the last couple of weeks with a hamstring injury, Alton has played a big part in helping us move away from the foot of the table."
