Ujpest are delighted with their growing relationship with West Ham United.

After sending young goalkeeper Peter Kurucz, a Hungary U21 international, on-loan to the Hammers in January, Ujpest this week signed Tony Stokes in a similar arrangement.

Joe Borocz, Ujpesti CEO, said: "We have been working with West Ham for three months so we are very pleased that we have come to this point with Tony coming to Budapest. We feel he will be able to help our team to make a really concerted effort to win the championship and we will see at the end of May if it has worked out for Ujpest and Tony. I am very hopeful that it will.

"English club football is the pinnacle of the world so when we looked at clubs to work with we felt that West Ham was the perfect club. We both have great traditions and ambitious plans for the future. I could not think of a nicer club to work with than West Ham and now there will be a lot of fans back in Budapest pulling for West Ham to do well."
