Steve Bywater says he is not interested in a permanent move to
Wolves.
Molineux boss Dave Jones has said he would like to keep him beyond the current three month loan arrangement, but Steve insists he is determined to make it at Upton Park one day.
"I'm happy where I am to be honest," he says.
"I like the club, the fans are good, the team is good, and I'm just concentrating on just being on loan at the moment.
"Then I will go back to West Ham.
"It's up to the boss what happens, but I'll be happy to just do the three months and hopefully play a couple of games in that time."
Steve had a choice of destinations in the summer, but freely admits that he chose the club where breaking into the first team was going to be most difficult.
"I thought Wolves are a very good club and I wanted to play as high up as possible," he explains.
"I've got to push myself, it keeps me on my toes more, and it's more of a challenge.
"Although I think I'm doing well I'm lacking in experience."
With the arrival of David James in the summer, the route to the first team is even harder for Steve, but that certainly hasn't affected his long term ambition to play for West Ham.
"The new manager came in saying everyone was equal,he says, "so the plan wasn't originally to go on loan, but as another keeper came in I thought it would be best to."
Steve says he is happy that Glenn Roeder has taken the manager's job, adding:
"Glenn is organised and knows what he is doing; the lads all know him and get on with him.
"It is different without Harry but you have to get on with it.
"The boss took over at the end of last season anyway so when we came back it just carried on from that.
"We knew his training sessions were good."
Steve adds that he is in touch with new goalkeeping coach Ludek Miklosko, adding:
"Ludo rang me up to see how I was doing - he's that kind of person.
"He's fit as a fiddle, like a machine, and I don't think he would struggle if he had to play!"
