New Hammers deal for Sheringham
Teddy Sheringham has signed a new one-year deal with West Ham.
The 39-year-old former England striker, who was a target for Tottenham during the January transfer window, is now set for a third season at Upton Park.
Sheringham, who was a free transfer signing in July 2004, has scored 26 goals in 53 league and cup appearances.
Hammers boss Alan Pardew told the club’s website www.whufc.com: “I’m absolutely delighted that we have signed Teddy up for another year.
“It’s important for our young players that we have good senior professionals at the club, and Teddy has always set the right example.
“More importantly, we have also secured his playing ability for another season.
“Teddy has shown this season that he is still a top Premiership striker and, given his superb fitness levels and dedication to the game, I have no doubt that he will be an important member of the team next year.”
