Boffin departs

Ruud Boffin has left West Ham United after having his contract with the Club cancelled by mutual consent.

The 24-year-old joined the Hammers in September 2010 to serve as cover for No1 Robert Green.

A regular in the reserves, Boffin made his first-team debut in a 1-1 Barclays Premier League draw at a snowbound Blackburn Rovers on 18 December 2010. The Belgian made subsequent appearances in the 2-1 home Carling Cup loss to Aldershot Town and the 1-0 FA Cup with Budweiser third-round defeat at Sheffield Wednesday this season.

West Ham United would like to thank Ruud for his contribution and wish him all the best for the future.
