Five Hammers out of contract

West Ham Academy players Sam Howes, Noha Sylvestre, Djair Parfitt-Williams, Jaanai Gordon and Sam Ford are all out of contract in June and set to be released by the club.

Goalkeeper Howes joined West Ham United at U10 level from Crystal Palace. The England U19 keeper has failed to agree new terms and is free to leave the club. Howes has just completed a loan at Conference South side Hampton and Richmond Borough.

Jaanai Gordon has just completed a loan with Newport county. West Ham signed Gordon from League One side Peterborough in 2013.

Hammers forward Djair Parfitt-Williams signed his first professional contract with West Ham in 2015. The youngster who was born in Bermuda but raised in the United States, was first spotted by the Hammers while playing for San Jose Earthquakes.

Swiss midfielder Noha Sylvestre has signed a one-year professional contract with the Hammers last summer.

Former Ipswich Striker Sam Ford signed a one-year professional contract with the Hammers following a successful trial last year. The club has an option of another year which looks unlikely to be activated.
