Orient starlet Brian Saah has signed a new deal with the club which will keep him at Brisbane Road until June 2009.

The defender has gained a new 2 ½ year contract after a string of impressive performances this season in League One.

Saah made his O`s debut aged just sixteen in September 2003 and has now racked up 50 appearances for Martin Ling`s side.

Saah, who joined Orient as a 14-year-old, was originally a central midfield player but has now converted into an extremely promising central defender.

O’s boss Ling was keen to tie the promising defender down to a longer-term deal and he is delighted that Saah has committed his future to the club.

He said: ‘Brian’s new contract is a rich reward for his performances over the last two seasons. He thoroughly deserves it and he has gone from strength to strength since converting to centre-half – if his game continues to develop at a similar rate he will have a big future in the sport. He is yet another product of the centre of excellence here, and it’s a great tribute to our youth system that eight members of our first team squad have come through it.’
