Jack Collison has signed a long-term deal with West Ham United it has been confirmed.
The 22-year old Welsh midfielder joined the Hammers as a youth in 2005 before turning pro two years later and has a big future ahead of him according to many critics.
He has now committed himself to the East London club and is looking to bounce straight back to the Premier League after last season's relegation.
"Obviously it's great for me personally to know that I can now get my head down and concentrate on my football," Collison told the clubs official website.
"That's the most important thing for me to do now - get my head down, do my business on the pitch and have a good season.
"It's nice to have the security of knowing my future is with West Ham United. I look around and see what they are building and I want to be part of the future. Fingers crossed, I'll work hard and hope I can do the business."
