Det kommer mer från West Ham

Mark Robsons lagbygge fortsätter. Sedan tidigare har han värvat Sam Cowler, ung målvakt från West Ham, och idag fortsatte han med ännu en Hammer, nämligen vänsterbacken Jordan Brown.

 

Brown är 20 år och fostrad i West Ham från U8 till U18. Han var lagkapten för äldsta årskullen och var med på försäsongen ifjol med A-truppen. En skada satte dock stopp och under året har han varit utlånad till League Two-kollegan Aldershot samt spelat på ett korttidskontrakt med Crewe.

 

Kusinen heter Kieran Richardson och spelar i Sunderland så fotbollen finns i blodet. Skönt också att fortsätta Jordan-trenden på vänsterbacken efter Parkes och Mustoe. Av allt att döma är det en talangfull ytterback som värvats in och Robson säger till barnetfc.com:

 

"Jordan is a player I've known about for a while now. He's had a good upbringing at West Ham - both on and off the pitch.

 

He is a very promising player and he was unfortunate not to feature more in the West Ham First Team as he played a few times in their pre-season last year. With all the players they brought in he never really got an opportunity. But that can only be a good thing for us as I really want to help him develop and prosper as a Bee and I believe he will do that here.

 

I'm very excited to finally get Jordan here as I know there were a few clubs chasing him. I'm glad he chose to come here."

 

Brown själv säger:

 

"I had a meeting with the Head Coach, who knew me from my time at West Ham, and after seeing his enthusiasm for this club to do well it was a major part in me wanting to play for him. He explained to me the direction the club is aiming to go and the style of football we plan to play and I liked the sound of it.

 

Coming through the Youth System at West Ham helped me play good football - we're expected to play with the ball at their feet to a decent level. I think it's also good that I have experience in League 2. I know what it takes to do well in this league.

 

I'm an attacking full back, I like to get forward and get crosses into the box. I'm pretty quick, too."
