McCartney commits to Hammers

2:51pm Wednesday 23rd July 2008

George McCartney has signed a new five-year contract with West Ham.

Earlier this month, the Hammers turned down a £4.5million offer to sell the Northern Ireland defender back to Sunderland.

The 27-year-old full-back joined the Upton Park club from the Black Cats in 2006 in a four-year deal worth £1million.

Sunderland boss Roy Keane wanted McCartney to return to the Stadium of Light but the player made clear his desire to stay in east London.
