Junior Stanislas was delighted to finish the season in West Ham United's midfield.
The youngster told whufc.com: "Obviously I'm delighted.
"Going to Southend has probably helped me and I've come back and been training with the boys. They've made me feel welcome and I've been progressing and improving. It's been nice.
"I'm disappointed that the season has finished now, to be honest. Obviously the boys who have been playing all season need a break so it'll be nice for us all to come back next season."
