West Ham youngster George Earthy will want more minutes at Bristol
Earth has made 15 league appearances this season, but only three of those have been starts.
As he returns to the London Stadium in the summer, the Englishman will be keen to prove his worth by securing more regular playing time.
Having already made a name for himself with his debut senior goal for the club, Earthy will be eager to demonstrate his potential and capability at a higher level.
With many at West Ham believing big things are in store for him, the 2025 season will be crucial in showcasing his development and determining whether he can solidify his place in the Hammers’ first-team picture.
While he would not prioritise getting regular starts, being a part of the matchday squad is something he could target.
However, for that, he needs to be starting regularly and proving his worth at Bristol City.
