West Ham U23 captain Declan Rice has been named FAI U17 International Player of the Year.

The 18-year-old beat fellow Irishmen Canice Carroll (Oxford United) and Jayson Molumby (Brighton and Hove Albion) to the prestigious award.

Rice signed a new contract with the club in February, pledging his future to the Hammers until 2020.

Upon signing his new deal, the 2015/16 Academy Player of the Year said: "It has been an amazing season for me, I think I've kicked on and progressed. After the season I've had, being on the bench for the first team and captaining the U23s in every game, it's been amazing.

"I've trained with the first team quite a bit as well and that makes me want to kick on even more."
