Donay O'Brien-Brady signing his new contract with Director of Football Barry Fry

Donay O'Brien-Brady has penned a new three-year deal at the football club.

Peterborough United midfielder Donay O'Brien-Brady has put pen to paper on a new three-year contract, completing the formalities at the idverde Training Ground on Friday afternoon. 

The 20-year-old has started the season in fine form, featuring in the first three games in all competitions in the absence of skipper Hector Kyrpianou. 

O'Brien-Brady, who started his Academy journey with Tottenham Hotspur, spent much of last season playing in the number 10 role for the Under 21s, but has been converted to a central midfield player with success. 

Manager Darren Ferguson said: "This contract is fully  deserved. The change of position has worked a treat for him. He is really fulfilling the potential that we thought he had and he is really challenging for a first team spot. 

"He has had a fantastic pre-season and started the campaign well. We spoke in the summer about tying some of our talented younger players down on contracts, we were able to do it with James Dornelly and now with Donay too. We believe he has a really bright future."

O'Brien-Brady said: "I am delighted to sign a new deal at the club. The management have put a lot of trust in me and it is down to me now to try and repay that faith. 

"I wanted to come back after the summer break and really try and kick-on and I have been happy with how things are going, but I need to stay grounded. I am eager to continue to improve and learn and I know this is the right place to do that."
