Leyton Orient striker Jabo Ibehre has pledged his future to the O's after turning down both Wycombe Wanderers and Brighton on transfer deadline day.

The 23-year-old handed in a transfer request at Brisbane Road after failing to hold down a starting spot at the start of the season, but Ibehre is now happy to stay put and fight for his place.

He told the club's official website: "It wasn't necessarily a question of wanting to leave Orient as I love the club, but it was more to do with me wanting to play regular football.

"The club obviously accepted a couple of bids for me last week, but it became clear while I was speaking to Wycombe and Brighton that my future lay at Leyton Orient.

"I have been at the club throughout my entire career and I was delighted to sign a new two-year contract this summer."
