Moyes to finally get a look at exciting Irons prospect

|

David Moyes will be keen to get a look at exciting Hammers wing prospect Nathan Holland before the end of the season.

Academy chief Terry Westley told ClaretandHugh that the exciting right winger will be back in training this week after a four month play off.

And now the player has confirmed his return tweeting: “ Been tough not being able to do what I love most but great feeling to be back on the pitch.”

Westley told CandH that Moyes had made a point of mentioning Holland a day before he arrived declaring that he was looking forward to seeing the former Everton youngster in action.”

He was disappointed when he heard about his torn hamstring but can now look forward to watching the youngster in the next under 23 game against Manchester City on March 2.

Holland was on the brink of a first team call up before his injury given the problems in that position and may get a chance to show himself off, assuming the Irons have reached Premier League safety before the end of the season.
