Winger Ollie O'Neill has signed a new contract with Leyton Orient to stay with the club until the summer of 2028.
The 22-year-old has played 67 games for the O's since signing from Fulham in January 2024, including 15 this campaign.
O'Neill is one of only four players from the team that started last season's play-off final defeat to Charlton who have stayed at the club in League One this season.
Manager Richie Wellens said O'Neill was "one of the best wingers in the league".
"He has been a great addition to the squad since joining. His application and determination drive his own performances, as well as those around him, and he is a vital player in our system," he said.
O'Neill, who has represented Republic of Ireland Under-21s, has nine goals and 10 assists for Orient so far.
"I really admire the club's mindset and ambitions, and it's great that they align with my personal goals," O'Neill said.
"Last season's campaign was just a taste of what this club can achieve, and I believe we can really push towards the top end of the division again this season.
"I have ambitions to play at the highest level I can and I have signed this new contract because I believe I can achieve that here."
