West Ham United can confirm that Archie Woods has joined Vanarama National League South side Dartford on a season-long loan.
The 19-year-old midfielder, who signed his first professional deal in the summer of 2022, was a regular in the U21 Academy development team last season, making 22 appearances in all competitions.
The lifelong Hammers fan scored his first Premier League 2 goal in a 5-0 win away to Wolverhampton Wanderers last March, a result that proved to be key in retaining top division status for the U21 side.
Woods will now link up with Alan Dowson’s side, who sit eleventh in National League South, for the 2023/24 campaign.
Everyone at West Ham United wishes Archie every success in his loan spell with Dartford.
