West Ham goalkeeper Herrick pens pro terms: Jaaskelainen an inspiration

West Ham goalkeeper Finlay Herrick has signed a pro deal.

Herrick was a member of England's U17 squad last season and and also part of West Ham's FA Youth Cup winning team.

“I've been around West Ham since I was six years old and after first playing here, I have never played anywhere else," Herrick told whufc.com.

“I remember getting a picture with Jussi Jääskeläinen on my first day at Chadwell Heath and that's when I thought: 'wow, this is what I want to do.'

“Eleven years after first training at Chadwell Heath, I have signed my pro-deal with West Ham United. It is all a bit surreal, really. It's amazing."
