Signed, sealed, delivered: West Ham complete Maguire deal

The topscorer in last season’s Airtricity League First Division has moved to the London club from Waterford United.

WEST HAM HAVE today signed Republic of Ireland Under-19 striker Sean Maguire from Waterford United.

Maguire agreed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Premier League club after catching the eye with his performances in the Airtricity League.

The 18-year-old finished joint top scorer in the League of Ireland second tier in 2012.

Maguire, who scored 13 goals in 24 appearances, told West Ham TV: “In 2011 the Waterford manager brought me in for a couple of training sessions and gave me a chance in the first team and I took it. Here I am now at West Ham and it’s a dream come true really.

“People tend to say my best trait is my movement so hopefully I can show that here.”

I haven’t been told yet which squad I will be in but I presume I’ll be going into the reserves so I’ll try to work my way up like I did at Waterford.”
