West Ham shot stopper signs new deal

 

West Ham have announced Darren Randolph has put pen to paper on a new four-year deal keeping him at the club until 2020.

 

Randolph, 29, only joined the Hammers on a free transfer last summer and spent last season as an understudy to No.1 goalkeeper Adrian.

 

The Republic of Ireland international, however, has still been rewarded with a new deal at the club and is delighted to reach new terms.

 

“I’ve had a good first year at West Ham and this is another positive thing to happen to me at the end of a good first season and a good summer with Ireland,” Randolph told West Ham’s official website.

 

“It has gone better than I could have ever expected at West Ham since I joined last summer, playing as many games as I did and then starting for Ireland in the play-off and at Euro 2016.

 

“Signing a new contract means I want to stay here for a long time and be part of what is going on with the club, moving into a new stadium and a new training ground – it’s very positive and exciting.”
