West Ham U21's match with Wolves at Rush Green is free entry for all fans
West Ham United are delighted to announce that the Development Squad’s meeting with Wolverhampton Wanderers U21 at Rush Green is FREE for all fans.
This is the perfect opportunity to see the Club’s rising stars in action, following a hugely successful summer for the Academy of Football.
As many as ten Academy products have made their senior West Ham bow this season already and Academy Manager Terry Westley’s side will now take on the Cottagers at the Hammers’ iconic Academy of Football base at Rush Green.
Westley is hoping Hammers fans will turn out in their numbers to support West Ham’s next generation and is confident that his charges will rise to the occasion.
“It is very important we get a crowd in on Monday night. We have a very exciting group of young players coming through.
“Martin Samuelsen is back from international duty with Norway, and Josh Cullen is also coming back from the Ireland U21s. It’s a great chance to come and see the future of West Ham play.
“We don’t know yet which first team players will be available yet, Reece Oxford could well feature. Further down we have younger players such as George Dobson and Marcus Browne who have stepped up from the U18s and are doing well.”
So far this season, the Hammers have struggled to convert impressive performances into points this season; however Westley is confident that will change on Monday evening.
Opponents Wolves meanwhile have fared slightly better, winning two of their opening six matches.
Westley continued: “Wwe haven’t faced Wolves for a while. But like any team in this division, they’re a competitive side. They have players who will want to impress and make their mark in the game, so we’re expecting a difficult game on Monday.
“Monday’s game is a fantastic opportunity for our supporters to see the next generation play. It really does help the player’s development as well as raise the status and stature of the club.”
Kick-off at Rush Green is at 7pm.
