The 25-year-old, who had been on loan at Brisbane Road since October, joins until the end of the season.

"I'm really pleased to sign and it's always nice to be somewhere on a permanent deal rather than a loan," Wright told the O's official website.
"I just want to kick on now and as a team we need to keep sticking together and back up these last two results.
"Playing here has given me the longest run of games I've had for a while and I feel fitter and stronger all the time.

"I'm proud and privileged to call myself a full Leyton Orient player and I'm ready to move on with the club now."

Wright, who started his career at Charlton Athletic, has made 12 appearances for Fabio Liverani's men this season.

After leaving the Valley in 2007, he had spells at Barnet, Brentford and Gillingham on loan, before making a permanent switch to Scunthorpe.

Wright, brother of The Only Way is Essex star Mark, joined Millwall in 2011, before enjoying two loan spells at Orient and a stint at Crawley Town.

"I haven't got a bad word to say about Millwall, perhaps it could have worked out better at times but I had some of my most memorable moments in the game playing there and it's a club I will always look out for," added Wright.

The O's currently sit 19th in Sky Bet League One, and play hostto 12th-placed Fleetwood Town on Saturday.

This season has been a stark contrast to last season where the London club where vying for promotion to the Sky Bet Championship, with the club now in the midst of a relegation battle.
