Finlay Jacob Herrick (born 18 January 2006) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for EFL Championship club West Ham United.

Club career

[edit]

Herrick joined West Ham at the age of six and was a member of the West Ham team that won both the FA Youth Cup and the Professional U18 Development League South in 2022–23.[5] He signed his first professional contract ahead of the 2023–24 season,[5] and extended his contract until the end of the 2027–28 season in October 2024.[6]

Boreham Wood (loan)

[edit]

On 1 September 2025, Herrick was loaned to National League side Boreham Wood.[7] He played 10 league games as well as 3 in the National League Cup before being recalled on 29 October 2025 to join up with the first team at West Ham.[8]

West Ham United

[edit]

Having made two appearances for West Ham U21s in the 2025–26 EFL Trophy,[9][10] Herrick made his first team debut for West Ham in the quarter-finals of the 2025–26 FA Cup against Leeds United on 5 April 2026.[11] Replacing Alphonse Areola in the 120th minute, while the score was 2–2, Herrick went on to save Joël Piroe's effort with the first kick of the subsequent penalty shoot-out, which West Ham ultimately lost 2–4.[11]

International career

[edit]

Herrick has played for England at various youth levels from under-16 to under-20 and was a member of tournament squads at the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup and the 2025 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.[12][13]
