Jonathon Spector has joined West Ham for £500,000 after spending last season on loan at Charlton. West Ham manager Alan Pardew told the club website
"Jonathan is a player we have been tracking for the past 18 months or so,"
"He has huge potential and we hope that bears fruition here at West Ham United.
"He is definitely one for the future and, with a Uefa Cup campaign to look forward to next season, he will add to our defensive quality.
"He can play all along the back four and, over the next 12 months, we hope he will secure a first team place here and prove his worth as a Premiership player."
