Reece Burke signs new four-year West Ham deal

Reece Burke has signed a new four-year deal with West Ham.

The 19-year-old spent last season on loan with League OneBradford but played for the Hammers in last week's Europa League play-off round first leg draw against Astra Giurgiu.

Burke told his club's official website: "Obviously as a West Ham fan as well as a player, it's fantastic to be involved with the club during this period.

"It's still sinking in to be honest, the move (to the Olympic Stadium) and the changes here. Over time, I really believe everything will settle in, and it will feel like home very, very soon."

He continued: "This season for me, another loan move may happen.

"I think I'm going to try and do Championship - the next step - and see how the season goes hopefully playing Championship football and I'll hopefully get another load of games under my belt.

"I want to build on that experience and come back next year even better, just similarly building like I did last season."
