Hammer departs for relegation battle

West Ham winger Dan Kemp joined League Two strugglers Stevenage on loan for the remainder of their league season on transfer deadline day although the news was largely over shadowed by Jarrod Bowen transfer saga on the day.

The 21-year-old has been a strong contributor for West Ham U23s this season, finding the net eight times in just 15 appearances in Premier League 2 Division 2, whilst also scoring twice for the Hammers in the EFL Trophy before Christmas.

He was also recently named amongst first-team manager David Moyes’ substitutes for the FA Cup fourth round game at home to West Brom. Capped by England at Under-20 level. In total, the attacking midfielder has made 72 appearances for the Irons’ Under-23s, which have yielded 22 goals and nine assists.

Kemp made his debut on Saturday when he cam on as a 60th minute substitute against Leyton Orient but his new side lost 3-0 at home to leave them at the bottom of League 2.
