Leyton Orient boss Martin Ling has completed a permanent deal to sign former loanee Luke Guttridge from Southend United for an undisclosed fee.
The 24-year-old played seven games for the O's during his loan stay at Brisbane Road last month.
Ling told the club's official website: "I've kept abreast of Luke's situation throughout his month back at Southend and I kept patient, hoping he'd get frustrated with being on the bench.
"It's happened at the very last minute and I'm absolutely delighted that Luke will be back here wearing the number 16 shirt again."
