Hammers striker out on loan

Chelmsford City have announced the one month loan signing of West Ham Academy promising striker Jordan Brown.

Brown will go straight into Saturday’s Emirates FA Cup squad for Chelmsford to face Basingstoke.

The pacy 18-year-old joined West Ham from Arsenal in 2013, scoring seven goals in the 2013/14 campaign for the Hammers’ Under-18s. He then moved into the club’s Development Squad where he netted three times.

The youngster signed a new contract earlier this year  keeping him at the club until June 2016. He told the club’s website “I’m delighted to have signed a new contract. I’m happy the club has faith in me to give me another year to push on and try and prove myself.I heard I was going to get a new contract in about January or February and I was very happy. I’ve known about it for a while but it’s good to actually sign it.”
