New West Ham United deal for young defender Kyle Knoyle

England Under-18 international Kyle Knoyle has signed a new deal with West Ham United.

The right-back, who joined the club's academy at the age of 13, has committed himself to a two-year professional contract at Upton Park.

"I'm delighted. It's something I've always dreamt of as a kid. It's an honour to get a contract at a Premier League club, I'm just looking to push on and make the next step to the first team," he told the club's official website.

"I've been at the club for a while. Getting a professional contract was always the aim, ever since I arrived here. It's been a great five years so far and hopefully a good future too."

The 18-year-old featured for the club's Under-18 and Under-21 sides last season.
