He was a key figure during their title-winning campaign last season.<\/p>\n<p>However, the former Cheltenham Town player might not feature for some time. In the O&#8217;s 2-1 win against Sutton United in April, Dayton dislocated his ankle and subsequently missed the remainder of the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>With this in mind, his recovery is likely in its process right now but it might a while before O&#8217;s fans see the winger back in action.<\/p>\n<h3>James Alabi off the transfer list<\/h3>\n<p>Orient also announced that James Alabi has been removed from the transfer list.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Club can confirm forward James Alabi has been removed from the transfer list.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/LOFC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#LOFC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/OnlyOneOrient?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#OnlyOneOrient<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Leyton Orient FC (@leytonorientfc) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/leytonorientfc\/status\/1149600446626926593?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">July 12, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The striker was listed prior to pre-season, as his previous campaign for Orient was not a memorable one.<\/p>\n<p>The 24-year-old scored only twice last season and saw first-team opportunities few and far between.
