West Ham goalkeeper Adrian has signed a new two-year contract with the option of a further two years.

The 28-year-old Spaniard has become a favourite with the fans following his move from Real Betis in June 2013.

After agreeing the deal that will keep him in east London until 2017, Adrian told the club's website: "This is a proud moment for myself, my family and friends and I am really happy to have signed my second contract with the club.

"I feel really happy for the club and the fans. I never imagined this kind of relationship with the fans. I spent 16 years at Real Betis and it was difficult to leave  your home.

"But from the moment I arrived in London the West Ham fans had a special relationship with me. For me this is a really good moment and I just want to enjoy it. This is my third season here and I want to stay here for a long time.

"Next season is really important for the club. I have enjoyed playing at Upton Park and I want to enjoy playing in the new Stadium. It is a big step for the club and I am really excited about this moment."

Adrian San Miguel del Castillo, more commonly known as Adrian, was up against first choice 'keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen when he first arrived from his homeland.
