Fin Herrick signed his first pro-contract with the Club ahead of the 2023/24 season.

The 2022/23 campaign saw Herrick demonstrate his promise with the U18s, making eight appearances for Kevin Keen’s side, keeping three clean sheets.

The shot-stopper, whose first training session at Chadwell Heath was at the age of six, was an important figure as the young Hammers won the FA Youth Cup and the U18 Premier League South in 2022/23 campaign.

Fin has also represented England at U16s level, before being called up for the UEFA European U17 Championships in May 2023. He had previously made his England U17 debut nine months earlier, keeping a clean sheet in the Young Lions’ win over Faroe Islands.

During the 2023/24 season, Herrick made 23 appearances for the U18s, while also representing England U18s in two international friendlies against France and Germany.

In 2024/25, his first full season in U21s football, Herrick was the only goalkeeper nominated for Premier League 2 Player of the Season as the shot stopper with the most clean sheets in the division (7). He also earned five England U19 caps keeping two clean sheets in UEFA U19 European qualifiers as the Young Lions qualified for the tournament in Romania.
