West Ham have snapped up England youth international Nathan Holland.
England U19 international Holland put pen to paper on a deal yesterday. Formerly of Everton the midfielder will join up with the Hammers Under-23 squad.
“It's amazing, I'm quite gobsmacked to be honest," he told the club website. “When I first came down, [academy director] Terry [Westley] introduced me to all the staff and they were all very welcoming. They've shown a lot of faith in me and I just want to repay that and kick on.
“It's all a bit of a family thing down here. Everyone is close together. It's a brilliant set up they've got and I think it will only help me improve. I think I can do that."
