DONE DEAL: Millwall keeper David Martin makes emotional West Ham move

West Ham United have signed Millwall goalkeeper David Martin.

Martin, son of former Irons captain Alvin Martin, joins on a two-year deal.

“Signing for West Ham United is a dream, both for me and my family," Martin told whufc.com. “I've grown up around West Ham and to come to my boyhood club is a dream.

“I came to games as a kid as one of the supporters in the stands at the Boleyn Ground. I loved watching my dad play, and I've continued coming to games throughout my career.

“You can see the impact the fans can have on the team and it gives you goosebumps. The fans at West Ham are brilliant and it's fantastic to be a part of this great club.

“I've always been an enthusiastic and positive person - I'll always go into training every day with that attitude to compete with Lukasz (Fabianski) and Roberto."
