West Ham United youngster Oliver Lee is hoping for a big year next season.

Lee has been rewarded with a new contract, and is eager to repay the club's faith in him by fulfilling his undoubted potential in 2010/11.

He told whufc.com: "Considering the year that I've had when I haven't played many games and haven't been training much, it's great that they have the faith in me that maybe I can push on and become the next one in the first team.

"It's been brilliant that Alex has chucked me straight back into the reserve team, too."
