Wealdstone re-sign West Ham youngster

Wealdstone have re-signed West Ham United youngster Nathan Mavila on loan until the end of the season.

Mavila, who can play both as a full-back and as a winger, made eight appearances for the Stones in a loan spell last term.

In August, he broke into the Hammers’ first-team squad for the first time as an unused substitute in the Europa League qualifier against Astra Giurgiu.

The 20-year-old was loaned out to National League side Aldershot in October but failed to make an appearance.

Mavilla, a Chelsea fan, was on Wycombe’s books before West Ham snapped him up in 2012.
