West Ham have agreed to extend the loan of Reece Burke to Bradford City by a further month.
Burke joined up with Bradford initially on a one-month loan deal which is due to finish this Sunday and thus far he has made four league appearances for the team along with scoring his first goal.
The central defender was named West Ham’s Young Player of the Year last season and featured in the the club’s last five Premier League games for the 2014/2015 campaign, starting four of them.
Burke also played for West Ham in the first round of their Capital One Cup tie at home to Sheffield United in the same season.
This season, the central defender has appeared three times for West Ham all of them coming during their Europa League qualifiers earlier this summer.
The 6′ 2” defender, who just turned 19 years of age has been capped with England at Under 18 and Under 19 level.
What a capture for Bradford last year at the end of the season he was brilliant,
I thought this season he would break into our first team set up but Oxford has moved a head of him because of his flexibility,
Next year he should step up to replace Ginge,
Needs to learn how to play the ball out from the back and pass with accuracy,
Enjoy your playing time Reece
Ginge should be the one out on loan.
Burke is the future and should be playing in the League Cup
