Noe Baba has been offered a contract extension at Birmingham City FC.

The former Fulham youngster has committed his future to the Blues, hoping to emerge as a first-team force next season.

Nineteen year old Baba hails from Castlebar, and plays nominally as a central defender known for his surety on the ball and dominating play off the ball.

Baba spent two years at Fulham FC before last year moving on to pasture new, for Birmingham City FC.

Following a successful debut season with their youth ranks Baba has been awarded with a contract extension, which he hopes will provide him with the opportunity to once again progress in his burgeoning career.

Such an opportunity inevitably comes with responsibility and even pressure, but it is such pressure in which Baba has thrived throughout his youthful career to date.

Baba has been on the international scene for years, despite his tender age.

Baba has represented his country at under-15, under-16, under-17, under-19 and under-21 level, notably winning 19 under-19 Republic of Ireland caps alone.

Furthermore, he took another stride forward in his international career late last year, making his debut for the under-21 side last November against Norway.
