HAMILTON ACCIES starlet Stephen Hendrie flew to London tonight to sign a pre-contract agreement with Premiership side West Ham United.

The 20-year old left-back, a product of the New Douglas Park youth system, has been the subject of on and off discussions between the two sides throughout January and, with an immediate move ruled out, Hendrie has agreed to join the Hammers in the summer.

Hendrie, who is out of contract at the end of the season, was meant to put the final touches to the deal tonight with officials from West Ham however the player and his representatives were delayed from flying south by several hours due to the weather and the meeting will now take place in the morning.

The Scotland under-21 international first played in the Accies top team aged 16 with one of his representatives saying: “Stephen is delighted that everything is now in place and his future is settled.

"He will play out the rest of the season at Hamilton ahead of a terrific move in the summer.

“Not even the snow was going to stop the deal.”
