McGleish has had two previous spells at Leyton Orient

Striker Scott McGleish is returning to Leyton Orient on loan from Wycombe Wanderers until the end of the season.

The 35-year old, who spent two spells with Orient in the 1990s, becomes Geraint Williams' first signing since taking over as manager.

McGleish worked with Williams when the Welshman was assistant manager at Colchester United.

The Barnet-born striker goes straight into the squad for Saturday's League One match with fellow-strugglers Crewe.

McGleish started his career at Charlton and then signed for Peterborough either side of spells with Orient before going on to play for Barnet, Colchester, Northampton and Wycombe.

He has already spent one loan spell in League One this season with Northampton Town.

Having scored 204 career goals so far, it is hoped he can help Orient escape the League One relegation zone.
