Amazing news as Earthy sends message to fans

Earthy sends message to fans

West Ham have released a message from George Earthy that should have every Hammers fan smiling. Earlier today, we all received the wonderful news that George had left the hospital and had returned home.

The Hammers academy star was concerningly stretchered off during yesterday’s Premier League loss to Fulham. Earthy had only been on the pitch a matter of minutes before he succumbed to a head injury which had everyone connected with West Ham worried about his safety.

So it’s fantastic to hear a double dose of good news today with words from the player himself as well as the positive press release from the club this morning.

Earthy’s message on West Ham’s social media accounts said, “A bitter-sweet moment having come off so soon, but a dream come true to make my Premier League debut. I would like to thank the medical staff for the treatment I received and everyone for their support. Can’t wait to get back out there.”

And we can’t wait to see you back out there, George, rest up and we’ll see you soon, mate.
