The midfielder extends his stay by another year, contracting him to the club until the summer 2026.
East, who also celebrates his 26th birthday today, is the second player in as many days to sign a new deal, after Kyron Gordon on Tuesday.
“I’m delighted to commit my future for the next two years and be a part of what is an exciting time for the football club,” commented East.
“The gaffer and all the staff have been great with me since I walked through the door almost a year ago now and it really feels like I’ve found a home here.
“The fans’ support has always been excellent, and we will need that again going into a season that we are all really looking forward to.”
East joined Dale last August on a season-long loan from Bradford City.
An ever-present since he joined, the move was made permanent in December as the former Reading youngster penned an 18-month contract.
He made 46 appearances in all competitions for Jimmy McNulty’s men during the 2023/24 campaign, scoring four times.
