Former Hammer Anthony Edgar has signed a one-year contract with League One side Yeovil Town.

The 20-year-old midfielder put pen to paper today having spent the past few weeks on trial with the Glovers. He was released by West Ham at the end of last season having failed to make the step up from the Academy to the first team squad.

Confirming his arrival, a statement on Yeovil's website read: "[Edgar] has looked lively in both pre-season friendlies, impressing manager Terry Skiverton enough to offer him a contract. The youngster comes with a good pedigree having come up through the West Ham United youth academy."

Edgar - who will team up at Huish Park with another former Hammer, Bondz N'Gala - managed to make just two appearances for West Ham's first team, both as a substitute in the FA Cup.

In January 2009 he came on as an 87th minute sub in the third round 2-1 defeat against Arsenal, whilst his second and final appearance came at the same stage of last season's competition as an 89th minute replacement for Zavon Hines in 2-0 win over Barnsley.
