Leyton Orient have revealed youth team coach Danny Webb has been promoted to work alongside Andy Hessenthaler with the first team.
The 33-year-old has been with the Brisbane Road outfit for five years and began with the under-14s.
Since then he has progressed through the age groups and led the under-16s to National Category Three Cup final glory in 2014.
Webb stepped up to assist Academy Director Andy Edwards at the start of last season with the under-18s.
