West Ham striker Dean Ashton is raring to go again now he is over his year-long broken ankle nightmare.

The £7.25million star, 23, crocked preparing for last August's England friendly with Greece, declared: "There will be no hungrier player than me. I am desperate to get back out there and enjoy my football once again.

"I feel if I can get back to form with West Ham I can put myself in the window and Steve McClaren will come and watch me."
