League Two club Leyton Orient have appointed Andy Edwards as assistant manager.

The 44-year-old will work alongside Andy Hessenthaler, who was appointed as Orient boss last week.

Former Southend, Birmingham and Peterborough defender Edwards joined the east London outfit in 2009 and has been coaching in the club's academy.

He assisted with first-team affairs at the end of last season while Hessenthaler was in caretaker charge.
