He captained the side to the National League title in 2018\/19, as well as playing in the FA Trophy final at Wembley.<\/p>\n<p>This season has been a struggle for the skipper, with injury problems severely limiting his time on the pitch. He made just one appearance this season in League Two, coming on as a substitute in the 2-1 victory over Mansfield Town.<\/p>\n<p>McAnuff will be looking to prove that he can still play at this level next season, even at 38-years-old, and will try to help the O&#8217;s further solidify their status as a League Two club.<\/p>\n<h3>What Was Said?<\/h3>\n<p>Speaking to the club website about his new deal, McAnuff said: \u201cLast year, as everyone knows, was frustrating. I worked really hard to get back to playing, and I\u2019ve got a lot of work again to get to the level I want to get to.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI don\u2019t just want to be a bit part or be here for the ride, I want to contribute, that\u2019s a big, big thing for me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m absolutely delighted to get it all done, and stay at the club for at least another year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"PqOvhtAtTN57KcKc_OZyjg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1145520275\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'PqOvhtAtTN57KcKc_OZyjg',sig:'rU2YNAE1ElqOkvCFnBb1hWpbQdYKlcZc4obYoLQjya4=',w:'594px',h:'394px',items:'1145520275',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Club captain Jobi McAnuff has signed a new one-year deal at Leyton Orient.
