Former Tottenham defender Alton joined the O's on an initial loan in October 2006 as manager Martin Ling looked to solve the club's defensive problems.

The Londoner immediately slotted in at centre-half and was rewarded with a permanent transfer from Hull City as soon as the January transfer window opened

Alton began his career at the highest level with Tottenham Hotspur, and he made several Premiership appearances during the 2000/01 season.

However, he was then struck down by the first of many injuries to plague him throughout his career, and he was released to join Hull City at the start of the 2003/04 season.

Back-to-back promotions with the Tigers led to Alton playing back at Championship level, but injury restricted him to just over 40 appearances in three years at the KC Stadium.

His move to Orient brought him better luck in the 2006/07 season and he will be hoping to build on an impressive start to his O's career over the upcoming campaign.
