Robert Hall recently won the European U-17 championship with England and is considered a hot prospect for the future after working his way up through the Hammers ranks since the age of eight.
Speaking at his signing he put his success’ down to a good family unit. “I am here with mum and dad and I owe them a lot.
"It is nine years that we have been coming up the M25 every day to get here. Now I am in the Academy house and I am happy with this achievement. It is a family thing for me. They have helped me through and I always feel my family are with me when I am on the pitch.
"They always make the effort to come and support me, whether it is abroad or near my house. That is why I love playing football because I have my family right behind me.
