    The 33-year-old expressed his delight after joining a club that is special to his family.<\/p>\n

    \u201cSigning for West Ham United is a dream, both for me and my family,\u201d Martin told West Ham’s official website<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019ve grown up around West Ham and to come to my boyhood club is a dream.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI came to games as a kid as one of the supporters in the stands at the Boleyn Ground. I loved watching my dad play, and I\u2019ve continued coming to games throughout my career.<\/p>\n
