West Ham Renew Reid Contract

Kyel Reid has signed an extension to his present contract which will keep him at West Ham until 2009. Reid, 20, has appeared for the first team this season in the Carling Cup and obviously believes he can win a more regular place in the starting line-up.

"I am really happy to commit to the club," he said. "I am determined to do my best and fight for a first-team place. I am learning a lot from the senior players, especially Matty Etherington and Luis Boa Morte in my position, and want to keep on making good progress.""
