Talking to whufc.com after signing his contract, Ford beamed: “I’m delighted to have signed for West Ham. It’s a huge club and a big step up.
“West Ham is a massive club. It is a very exciting time with the new stadium, everyone is talking about West Ham, it is definitely something to look forward to and hopefully I’ll be involved playing their one day.
“It’s been a dream of mine to be a professional footballer for as long as I can remember so hopefully I can keep on improving, keep working hard and we’ll see where that gets me.”
Having made an instant impact on the pitch, the seventeen-year-old is hoping this successful start to life in east London is just the beginning of a blossoming career.
Ford continued: “It feels really good; to score on my debut as well makes it very special.
“It’s nice to get off to a good start and hopefully that’s the first of many. I’m happy to get on the scoresheet.
Having impressed during his claret and blue bow, Ford is targeting a strong end to the rest of the season.
The striker continued to say: “The Academy is a good place to be at the moment, everyone is excited for the semi-final and the rest of the season.
“I feel comfortable with the lads now; I’ve had time to build relationships off the pitch which helps as well. I’m staying in digs which is helpful, too.
“A lot of the younger players have been involved in the first team recently. I really just want to play football and get to the highest level possible. Making my Premier League debut is the dream.
“Life at Rush Green is demanding, but that’s good and important to get to that next level.
“I just want to kick on and try and score as many goals as possible between now and the end of the season. If I do that, we’ll see where it takes me.”
