Orient legend Lockwood unlikely to be coming home

ORIENT boss Martin Ling believes it will be highly unlikely that he will bring back club legend Matt Lockwood back to the club this summer.
Rumours are rife that the O's would welcome Lockwood back with open arms, after he failed to settle following his move to Nottingham Forest in July.
The former QPR left-back made just 12 appearances at the City Ground last season and many Orient fans are believed to want to see their hero return home.
But while Ling is activly searching to find a left sided player this summer, he claims he isn't preparing a move for a player who still has a year on his contract.
He said: "If I'm honest I would say there is absloutly no chance that Matt will be coming back to us this summer.
"He left us last year for Forest and joined them on very good money, but in my opinion I would say we've already had the best out of Matt Lockwood at Orient.
"I know people and fans will always look at this dream case senario of bringing back a player like him, but after nine great years I think it is a case of moving on and not looking back as far as Matt is concerned."
