Josh Landers joined the Hammers from Scottish Premiership side Hibernian in January 2025 after a successful trial period with West Ham United U21s.

Landers is an energetic modern day striker who can hold up play but also run in behind.

Consistently playing above his age group, he was 14 when he made his debut for Hibernian U18s and 15 when he played in the UEFA Youth League. He signed his first professional contract with Hibernian in the summer of 2023 and made his senior debut in the Scottish League Cup semi-final against Aberdeen at Hampden Park in November of the same year.

Despite only joining in January, Landers ended his first season at the Hammers in double figures, scoring nine times in the U18 Premier League South and once in the Premier League Cup as the young Hammers went on to win the competition with a 2-1 win in the final against Reading.
