Lichaj extends Orient loan spell

Eric Lichaj wants to help Leyton Orient finish with a flourish after extending his loan stay from Aston Villa until the end of the season. The American full-back has been an ever-present since signing from Aston Villa last month and scored his first career goal as Orient moved further clear of the drop zone with a 2-0 win over Stockport on Saturday. "I still have one season at Villa. I don't know what happens then so I'm fully focused on the end of the season here and doing as well as we can," he said. "We're on a good little run now so we need to keep it going."
