West Ham goalkeeper Jacob Knightsbridge is delighted with his progress this season.

The youngster has made the senior matchday squad four times this term.

He told whufc.com: I haven't been on the bench for the first team yet but as the third goalkeeper you still play a big role in the warm-up, helping the other goalkeepers get ready for the game. It was brilliant to be involved in the win over Tottenham Hotspur.

I think a 12-year-old me, a West Ham fan as well, would be pretty shocked to have been there. Sometimes you maybe have to remember not to take it for granted. You have to take yourself out of that bubble and think that two or three years ago you would be shocked if you were there [as part of the first team squad].

Of course, it makes you want more of that because I'd love to play for West Ham one day that's the main goal of mine. I grew up in Brentwood, Essex, and West Ham is massive around there."
