Alvin Martin thrilled son David now West Ham player

West Ham legend Alvin Martin is delighted son David Martin has signed for the club.

Martin Jr was snapped up from Millwall a fortnight ago.

“I couldn't have asked for a better Father's Day present than David signing for West Ham," Martin told whufc.com. “It's so exciting. I saw him on Saturday and he's already started his training. Him and my youngest son, Joe, are out doing their running and getting their pre-pre-season underway together.

“He's really excited to come here. It will be a packed pre-season for him and he's excited and nervous at the same time.

“I must admit the move came out of the blue. David's had some tough times in his career, but he is a fantastic professional and a really strong individual. He's looking forward to it and he will definitely give it his best shot."
