West Ham United can confirm that Academy winger Kamarai Swyer will join League One side Northampton upon the expiration of his contract on 1 July.
Swyer links up with the Cobblers under the guidance of former West Ham United captain and first-team coach Kevin Nolan, who he worked with during Nolan’s tenure in east London between 2020 and 2024.
A talented wide player from Redbridge, Swyer joined the Club’s Academy at the age of eight and progressed steadily through the ranks. He signed his first professional contract on his 18th birthday and made his senior debut during West Ham United’s UEFA Europa Conference League-winning campaign, coming on as a substitute in a 3-0 away victory at FCSB in November 2022.
In what would be his final season in Claret and Blue, Swyer was a consistent figure for Mark Robson’s U21s, making the most starts (30) and contributing a team-high eight goals and ten assists across all competitions. He was also the only player to score in every competition the U21s played in, Premier League 2, the EFL Trophy, the Premier League International Cup and the National League Cup.
Everyone at West Ham United would like to thank Kamarai for his 14 years of service to the Club and wishes him every success in the next chapter of his career at Northampton Town.
