Ismaili President Saad Al-Gendi confirmed that Ahmed Samir has tied himself to the club until 2012 ending speculation surrounding his future.

The 24-year old winger joined Ismaili last summer and put on some impressive displays that attracted many clubs.

But the Dervishes aren't ready to sell him after the departure of Sayed Moawad last January.

Meanwhile Guinean midfielder Samuel Johnson has signed a three-year contract until 2011.

Al-Gendi is also trying to persuade Omar Gamal, Hani Saied and Mohamed Fadl to extend their contracts at Ismaili.
