West Ham has signed New Zealand defender Winston Reid from Danish side FC Midtjylland.
The 22-year-old Reid featured in his country's unbeaten World Cup campaign, and joined the Premier League club on a three-year contract on Thursday. Financial details weren't disclosed.
Reid, who is of Maori heritage, moved to Denmark at the age of 10 and represented the country up to under-21 level before switching allegiance to his native New Zealand shortly before the World Cup.
In South Africa, Reid scored a late equalizer in the opening match against Slovakia. He also played in draws against Italy and Paraguay, which still weren't enough to send the Kiwis through to the last 16 phase.
