West Ham striker Zavon Hines admits he may seek a loan move away to continue his progress this season.

The 19 year-old told whufc.com: "Part of my aim is to make sure I am a regular in the reserves and do well there, but I also want to be more regular as part of the first-team squad. It might be that I would need to go on loan again, if only to get more experience and then be able to come back and get into the first-team squad."

Last season, Hines went on loan to struggling Championship side Coventry and came on as substitute in seven games - one of which saw him score a very important goal against Sheffield Wednesday.

"I scored the goal that earned them a point to stay up." He said. "I got a lot out of being at Coventry at loan. When you are young, you have to work hard so the manager will give you that chance and I knew that if I could do my best that it would help when I came back to West Ham."
