Promising right-back Kyle Knoyle has joined Scottish Premiership club Dundee United on loan until the end of the season.

The 19-year-old defender will travel to Scotland to link up with The Terrors on Sunday and could make his debut for Mixu Paatelainen’s side in Saturday’s fixture at Partick Thistle.

The defender is an England U18 international and made his Hammers debut in the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round fixture with Astra Giurgiu in Romania in August.

He has 15 Development Squad appearances and one goal to his name this season.

Knoyle joins former Hammer Guy Demel at Tannadice and will hope to gain valuable first-team experience during his time on Tayside.
