England U19 international Keira Flannery has signed her first professional contract with West Ham while joining Championship side Reading on loan for the rest of the season.
Flannery, who made her debut for the club in September 2022, has put pen to paper on a three-and-a-half-year deal with the Hammers.
After agreeing her new terms, the defensive midfielder later joined the Royals on a loan deal before this evening’s transfer deadline.
Flannery, who turned 18 in September, previously spent seven years with Arsenal’s academy but left to join West Ham at the age of 16.
