Andy Scott has ruled out a move for Leyton Orient striker Jabo Ibehre.

The 25-year-old frontman was released by the Os this week after eight years at Brisbane Road, where Scott signed off his own professional playing career in 2005.

The Griffin Park boss went on to become Orient's youth-team manager before switching to Brentford at the start of the season and, despite knowing Ibehre well, he will not be giving his former team-mate a second thought.

"Jabo has got all the attributes to be a decent player, but I am not interested in signing him," he said.

"He has been at Orient eight years and made about 100 of his 200-odd appearances from the bench.

"He has not exactly set the world alight in terms of his goalscoring record.

"I can't see Jabo fitting in to our style of play."
