da heads bet: West Ham starlet Jordan Spence wants a place in the Hammers first team after making an appearance in the club’s 4-1 victory over Southampton.
da premier bet: The defender is an integral member of the Hammers’ Development Squad, which currently leads the Barclays U21 Premier League Group 1, and has impressed in his performances. His current form has been noticed by Sam Allardyce, with Spence playing in Capital One Cup matches against Wigan and Crewe.
However, he now has his sights set on playing for the first team regularly, and feels that he has enough talent to play in the country’s top flight every week.
In an interview on West Ham’s official website, Spence said: “I have always said that I believe that I am good enough to play in the top flight. I have had the opportunity to do that a few times now and it is where every young footballer in this club should be working towards.
“I have now got to continue working hard, day in day out, and hope that people notice that so I get more chances to show what I can do.”
He also talked about how he enjoyed playing in Saturday’s match after spending most of the 2011/12 season playing for Bristol City on loan.
“First and foremost it was great for me to get out and play for the first team because I missed most of last year. It is important for me to play for the first team because everybody knows how proud I am every time I pull on a West Ham United shirt. It was also very pleasing to also be part of another great win.”
Jordan Spence scored the winning goal in the Development Squad’s victory against Bolton Wanderers on Monday.
