Hammer pens new deal until 2023

West Ham have officailly announced that Conor Coventry has signed a new contract with the Club until the summer of 2023.

The three-and-a-half year deal also includes the option of an additional year for the 19-year-old midfielder, who first joined the Club at just ten years of age and has shone throughout his Academy of Football career thus far.

On the deal, Coventry told WHUFC.com: “It’s a very proud day for me, and obviously something I’ve dreamed of since I came to the Club at ten-years-old. It’s something that I’ve worked towards for a really long time.

“When you come through, and you’re here every day from such a young age, it means more to you than you can really imagine. It means everything to me. I first came to the Club as a kid and now I’ve become a man.

“Obviously the most important thing is the time – it’s another three-and-a-half years at the Club, so that gives me confidence that, in those years, I can break through as a first-team player.”
 

Conor thanks a number of people saying “I don’t want to miss anyone out! right from when I was young, the likes of Jimmy Tindall, Tony Carr right through, then Terry [Westley], Liam [Manning], Ricky [Martin] now, Dmitri [Halajko], [Steve] Pottsy, Mark Phillips… we could be here all day! With all the coaches I’ve had, there’ve been so many positive influences at the Club who’ve helped me so much.

“I want to play in the first team for West Ham United. That’s what I’ve signed the contract to do, so hopefully in the next coming years I can be a first-team player for West Ham.”
