Joey O'Brien hopes to win over new West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic in their Europa League qualifiers.

The Irish international defender goes to the mountainous home of Andorra minnows FC Lucitanos hoping to impress new boss Slaven Bilic enough to win him the regular first team spot he lost under former manager Sam Allardyce last season.

He said: “I'm going into my fifth season at West Ham now. The first three were positive ones, but last year was a hard one not playing games.

"This is a new start to the season and hopefully I'll play more than I did last year.

“It's a clean slate for everyone. People who maybe weren't in the last manager's mind could now have a chance to impress the new one. It's my big chance."
