Ben Johnson's full statement

Hello everyone,

Thank you to everyone associated with West Ham United for supporting me over the last 17 years and developing me into a first team player.

I was lucky enough to go through the Football Academy and play for the first team in the Premier League, national cups and European competitions.

I just want to be known and recognized for my time at West Ham, for playing with a smile and for really enjoying my football. It's really important to me.

I would say my most special memory is winning the UEFA Europa Conference League. Being involved in winning a European trophy doesn't happen often, so to be there and be a part of it, and to be able to achieve that with West Ham was incredible.

My dreams were surpassed by what happened two seasons ago and I'm so happy to have made it as a West Ham player. I will never forget that night.

I wish West Ham all the best for the upcoming season under the new head coach and of course I will miss all my teammates and staff, as well as the supporters.

West Ham will always be a part of my life and I will remember it with fondness and lots of love. I became a younger man and a better player because of West Ham, so finally a big thank you to the club!

See you soon everyone.
