West Ham custodian Sam Howes has stated that he is going to relish every opportunity that comes his way, to move on with his career.
The 16-year-old is among the select few to have made a senior debut for the club at such a young age, when he came off the bench for the final 15 minutes of the Hammers' 3-1 defeat to Sydney FC.
Even though the result was disappointing, the teenager is satisfied to have had the opportunity to play.
He also adds that the aim for him now will be to play as many Under-21 games as possible and manage more opportunities to train with the first team during the upcoming season.
