Zavon Hines is delighted to have returned to West Ham United this season.
The former winger is now Hammers U14 coach.
He told whufc.com: "It's been great - challenging, but enjoyable! It's a little bit different to playing, because in my head I still want to be out there!
“I wasn't really sure what I was going to do after playing, but I'm just happy it's panned out the way it did.
"I don't always like to plan things too far ahead, because plans don't always go to plan, but I'm really enjoying everything at the minute, so it feels like it was meant to be."
