West Ham have signed goalkeeper David Martin from Millwall on a two-year deal.
The 33-year-old, who is the son of Irons legend Alvin Martin, is the second keeper in a week to join the Hammers, following Roberto’s arrival on a free transfer from Espanyol.
Martin’s deal, which begins on 1 July, has the option to extend for a further 12 months.
“Signing for West Ham United is a dream, both for me and my family,” said Martin. “I’ve grown up around West Ham and to come to my boyhood club is a dream.

“You can see the impact the fans can have on the team and it gives you goosebumps. The fans at West Ham are brilliant and it’s fantastic to be a part of this great club.
“I’ve always been an enthusiastic and positive person – I’ll always go into training every day with that attitude to compete with Lukasz Fabianski and Roberto.”
Martin spent four years with Liverpool from 2006 to 2010 without making a senior appearance, spending much of the time out on loan before signing for MK Dons, where he went on to make more than 300 appearances.
