Josh Cullen was over the moon after signing a new contract with West Ham United on Tuesday.

As for new players made their way to Upton Park on the final day of the summer transfer window, 19-year-old midfielder Cullen was busy putting pen to a deal which will see him remain with the East London club until the summer of 2018.

The Republic of Ireland U21 international made his Hammers debut in the historical 3-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday and is now looking forward to many more moments with the first team after committing himself to the West Ham cause.

"I'm delighted to get the deal done and extend my time at West Ham," Southend-born Cullen told the club's official website.

"The last couple of months have all gone quite quickly and I've had to take step back to take it all in. Obviously playing in the Europa League was a great experience, playing in front of a packed Upton Park was a special moment.

"Then going on at Anfield [for my Premier League debut] on Saturday was another moment that I'll remember for the rest of my life.

"The whole of the last couple of months have been fantastic and I just hope that it can continue.

"I've just got to take it week-by-week, day-by-day as it comes. I've got to keep working hard, impress the manager playing for the Under-21s and hopefully I can get more first team opportunities."
