West Ham United's Aji Alese has joined Cambridge United on loan until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old defender enjoyed an impressive loan spell at League One team Accrington Stanley last season.

Alese made his senior debut for West Ham against Hull City in the Carabao Cup in September last year.

Manager of the League Two leaders, Mark Bonner, is delighted about signing the promising defender.

Bonner said: "Aji has some good experience of League football from his previous loan at Accrington Stanley and is well thought of at West Ham. He is left sided, has good quality with the ball and is a strong athlete, which makes him a nice addition to the squad.

"Much like Declan and Jubril, Aji has an opportunity to work for a place in the team whilst adding to our culture. This completes our business in the January window and with the competitive squad we have built, we can now focus on the months ahead and building on the progress we have made so far."
