The 20-year-old did not make a professional appearance for the club, instead getting minutes out on loan at Waltham Forest and Bishop&#8217;s Stortford during his time.<\/p>\n<p>Dale Gorman, who spent the second half of this season on loan at Newport County, struggled to establish himself in the team after dropping down a division from Stevenage in 2018. The midfielder scored once this season in an EFL Trophy win against Southend United.<\/p>\n<p>Forward James Alabi divided opinion among O&#8217;s fans. His lack of goals frustrated many but others saw his presence in the squad as a huge contributing factor not only to the National League title win last season but to the side&#8217;s relative success this season too. He spent the second half of this campaign on loan at Ebbsfleet United.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, veteran striker Matt Harrold leaves having scored some crucial goals on Orient&#8217;s run to the title last season. All four of his goals in 2018\/19 came in the 90th minute or later.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">?
