Midfielder Matt Carter has signed his first professional contract with West Ham.

The 18-year-old, who featured 19 times for the Under 18s last season - and who describes himself as a "box-to-box midfielder" - admitted it was a "dream" to sign for the club.

But not content to rest upon his laurels, Carter - who has been involved with West Ham since he was five years old - is already aiming high with a regular place in Terry Westley's Development Squad his immediate target.

"I think I had a good season," he told whufc.com. "I was happy to be out on the pitch as I’ve had a few injuries in the past few seasons. Now I’ve been out playing a lot and playing pretty well so I’m happy. I hope that continues into next season.

“I think my major highlight so far at West Ham is making my U21 debut. Next season I really want to establish myself in the U21s, start every week and hopefully impress Slaven Bilic and get on his radar."
