Official: Doneil Henry signs for West Ham
West Ham have completed the signing of defender Doneil Henry from Cypriot club Apollon Limassol for an undisclosed fee.
Henry is a Canada international who came through the ranks at Toronto and has penned a long-term contract at Upton Park, with Allardyce convinced that the club have secured an exciting prospect.
"Ryan was my captain at Blackburn for a couple of years and he rang us and told us about Doneil," Allardyce told the club's official website.
"With a little coaching from us and work in terms of how to defend in the Premier League, Ryan says he has all the attributes to be a good player.
"We have invested in him for the near future, so we do hope he can make some sort of appearance this season if he settles in and does as well as Ryan thinks he will. "If not, we hope he is certainly one for the future."
Meanwhile, Henry has promised to give his all as he looks to cement his place in the Hammers starting XI. "I love a tackle and I just want to defend hard," he said. "It feels good to be given the opportunity to come and train and see what it's like to be part of a Premier League team and I just want to get started and get into the team real soon."
