The 2019-20 campaign delivered an emotional and turbulent return for Leyton Orient as The O's secured a 17th-place finish in League Two, their first season back in the Football League. The season was profoundly marked by the tragic death of manager Justin Edinburgh just before the campaign began. Leading the charge was midfielder Josh Wright, Edinburgh's final signing, whose 8 league goals proved crucial, and whose emotional goal on the opening day was a defining tribute to the beloved manager. Despite managerial changes and the season being curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic, this year was a chapter of resilience that secured their re-establishment in the professional ranks.
