West Ham United boss Alan Pardew has praised the efforts of Elliott Ward during his time at Upton Park.
"I love Elliott to bits and I think he is a very good player, but I just couldn't see him getting a fair share of games next season", said Pardew to the Newham Recorder.

"But we all owe a lot to Elliott for the part he played in our promotion and I still think that he can get better and better and become a good Premiership player in the future."
