Leyton Orient goalkeeper Glenn Morris has penned a new deal with the O's that will keep him at Brisbane Road for another two seasons.

The 24-year-old has spent the whole of his career with the League One side, appearing in 87 first-team games for the club since making his debut in 2001.

O's boss Martin Ling said: "We've given Glenn the number one jersey for next year and that's fully deserved after the way he played when he got his chance at the end of last season.

"He was last number one four years ago, and he's had to wait for his chance, but I feel he's matured as a goalkeeper over that time and, at 24, he's ready for the challenge."
