Irish winger Patrick Kelly is delighted with his chance for West Ham's U21s this season.

Kelly featured in the Premier League International Cup victory over Feyenoord.

The 18 year-old told whufc.com: “I was happy to be out there playing. It was good to be a bit higher up the pitch for the U21s. I had a good experience in the more defensive role last time but it was good to get this game under my belt, and to be back out there.

“It means a lot to play for the U21s. We've seen a lot of young players doing well and progressing through the Academy. Ollie Scarles and Divin got their first team debuts just a couple of weeks ago, so you know the pathway is there if you can get into the U21s, work hard and play well. For me, it's about trying to stay in this team and playing the best I can every week."
