Keith looks to bounce back

Winger Joe Keith has vowed to resurrect his Leyton Orient career after he returned to Brisbane Road early from a loan spell at Shrewsbury Town.
Keith left the League One club on a one-month loan after losing his place in the O's first team, but Shrews boss Gary Peters claimed he let the 28-year-old leave early due to personal reasons.
"The reasons for my loan spell being cut short are not those I've read from Shrewsbury," Keith told the club's official website.
"They wanted to sign me permanently and I wasn't prepared to do that, so after two weeks of me being there, Gary Peters' views changed on the whole matter.
"He didn't want to carry on playing me because he thought it would be unfair on his own players.
"I suggested to him that if he wasn't going to play me there wasn't any point in me staying and he said I could cut it short if I wanted to."
"I just want to get fit and contribute to Orient again."
