Polish goalkeeper, Lukasz Fabianski has rejoined West Ham on an one-year contract until June 2026.
Fabianski left the Hammers in June upon expiry of his contract but failed to find a new club whilst Wes Foderingham recently left the club to join Cyprus’ Aris Limassol, which paved the way for Fabianski to rejoin the club to bolster Graham Potter’s goalkeeping options.
Across his previous seven seasons, Fabianski made 216 appearances and was part of the 2023 UEFA Europa Conference League title-winning squad.
Now back with the Hammers, Fabianski is keen to continue putting the team above his own ambitions and keep standards high.
“I’m really, really, really happy to be back because this Club obviously means a lot for me and the people at this Club as well. Seeing them again, it felt nice and beautiful.
“I’ve always been, and I will be for sure, a player who is always putting the team above my personal goals. I think then maybe people see me as a good person to be around, a good person to have in the team in terms of what I bring and so it’s not only about me, it’s about the team.
“I’m here to support, to keep the standards high. I have huge experience as well, so I think it can be useful. For sure, I’ll continue to work the way I’ve always been doing, which is always hopefully at a good level but, at the same time, I understand that my role is completely different.”
Potter added that he is “really pleased” to have re-signed Fabianski to add quality to his goalkeeping options and challenge Alphonse Areola once more, alongside new signing – Mads Hermansen.
“Regardless of him being here previously, the main factor is that he is still a top goalkeeper and a top professional, and the perfect choice for the role we needed to fill.
“It’s a signing that makes perfect sense for everyone. Łukasz knows the Club extremely well, is very well respected and popular among everyone here.
“His personality and character will be a great example, especially to our younger players, and he is someone who really cares about West Ham United and wants to help us in any way he can. We are very happy to have him back with us.”
