Adam Chicksen has returned to Brighton & Hove Albion following the conclusion of his one-month loan spell at Leyton Orient.
The 24-year-old made a return to the Matchroom Stadium at the start of October for a second stint, which ended with a 1-0 defeat against Accrington Stanley at the weekend.
Chicksen made six appearances for Orient in all, in which time the League Two outfit conceded eight goals.
Upon joining the club last month, Brighton boss Chris Hughton hinted that the defender could be part of his long-term plans after gaining some further experience.
Chicksen, who featured three times for the East London outfit in his first spell at the club in the 2011-12 season, spent five years at MK Dons prior to joining Albion in 2013.
