West Ham United reserves coach Alex Dyer is pleased to have introduced several of their youngsters in recent friendlies.

The reserves have been impressive in recent weeks, securing a fine friendly draw with Polish top-flight side Arka Gdynia before sharing the spoils in their most recent Barclays Premier Reserve League South fixture at Fulham.

The likes of first-year professionals Anthony Edgar and Danny Kearns, as well as Iceland Under-21 defender Holmar Orn Eyjolfsson, all put in fine displays at Norwich and are likely to feature again when the Hammers host Stoke City next week.

Dyer told whufc.com: "We've got a few players in that side who can move the ball and pass it well. We know they are a young bunch coming to a place like Norwich and it was great opportunity for them in front of a decent crowd on a lovely pitch.

"It was nice for them to taste that experience. Some of the lads stepped up from the youth team and came on and showed what they could do. As a coach, I'm well pleased."
