Aaron Cresswell's first words after penning West Ham contract extension

Aaron Cresswell says that he's delighted to extend his contract at West Ham as he's 'loving every minute' of his time with the club.

The full-back has signed a two-year contract extension at the London Stadium, extending his stay until the summer of 2023.

At 29 years of age Cresswell is now the third longest-serving player in Manuel Pellegrini's squad behind Mark Noble and Winston Reid, and he said he's delighted to extend his stay with a club who are all heading in the same direction.

Speaking to the club website , he said: “I’ve been here for six years and I’ve loved every minute of it.

"I want to continue that and, thankfully, to extend the stay is fantastic news for me and my family. I’m looking forward to the next few years ahead.

“We’ve got a fantastic changing room. Everyone gets on. There are no egos and everyone is together.

If you want to push on and kick on in the league, then you need that team spirit and togetherness. I think we’ve certainly got that.

“We’re all on the same page – the owners, the board, the coaching team, the players and the fans.

"We’re all pushing in the right direction and, if we can keep doing that, we’ll be okay.”
