West Ham have let Josh Pask join Coventry City.
West Ham have parted company with bright prospect Josh Pask and he has signed a deal with Coventry City.
The often down on their luck Sky Blues are excited about the deal.
Pask, 21, hopes to immediately become a regular, after reaching his limit in under-23 football for West Ham.
Coventry recruitment chief Chris Badlan told the Coventry Telegraph they were surprised Pask was available.
He said: “We talked about Pask last summer and then once the opportunity came up the manager spoke to a couple of people at West Ham and got really good feedback from them, so that was a big plus point.
“We were shocked when we heard West Ham were letting Pask go because when he was growing up at 16, 17 and 18 he was their best Academy player,” he said.
“All the talk was about Josh Pask, so if we can get him going and playing men’s football we hope to get him to kick on.”
This must be fantastic for a young player like Pask to hear, to be at a club which is so excited to have him.
West Ham’s Premier League status makes it difficult for clubs to put their trust in young players, and the Hammers have done him a favour by releasing him now.
He is at the stage of his career where he needs to play games and now he is at a club which appears ready to give him a proper run in the team.
