[edit] Club career
Despite starting as a central midfielder, Saah was converted to a central defender and won praise for his displays deputising for first team regulars John Mackie and Gabriel Zakuani during the 2005–06 season.
Saah had agreed to extend his Leyton Orient contract until the summer of 2009, but was released at the end of his contract.[1] Following his release, he spent time at Southend United[2] and Tranmere Rovers on trial.
Following a home defeat to Crawley Town, Cambridge boss Martin Ling announced he would sign a new defender. On 20 August, Saah was signed on a free transfer until the end of the season and appointed club captain.[3]
In May 2010, Saah was selected for the England C squad to play in the opening International Challenge Trophy game with the Republic of Ireland.[4] Later that month Saah signed a two year extension with Cambridge United to keep him at the club until July 2012.[5]
On 1st July 2011, Saah signed with League Two side Torquay United, reuniting him with previous manager Martin Ling.[6]
[edit] International career
Saah played for England C in a 2–2 draw with the Wales Semi-Pro team on 14 September 2010.[7]
