Spence signs

Jordan Spence has committed his long-term future to West Ham United after signing a new contract.

The homegrown Hammer and England Under-21 international put pen to paper before pre-season training at Chadwell Heath and then gave an exclusive interview to West Ham TV.

Spence staked his claim for a new deal last season with a successful loan spell at Bristol City before forcing his way into the first team at the Boleyn at the end of the campaign.

He said: "It feels good to be back. I was delighted the club wanted to tie me down for a longer period of time. It is cool to get it all sorted and I am looking forward to some good years ahead hopefully."

The right-back is well aware of what the season holds with his Championship experience last season but is tipping the club to cope with the challenge. "We have got Premier League quality throughout the team. That is going to be the main thing for us this season."
