West Ham goalkeeper Adrian believes that the club have helped him to grow as a footballer because he has been a regular ever since he joined the Premier League outfit.
The shot-stopper joined the east London side from Real Betis in the summer of 2013 and since then he has established himself as the club’s first choice goalkeeper.
Despite a managerial change ahead of the new season, Adrian has remained the club’s number one and he admits that he is grateful towards Slaven Bilic for continuing to put his faith in him.
The 28-year-old was also the first choice under Sam Allardyce and he believes that being a regular at West Ham has helped him to grow as a footballer as he has only got better since joining the club two years back.
The Spaniard told AS: “I have been fortunate enough to enjoy the trust of the new coach, Slaven Bilic, like last year with Sam Allardyce.

“I attempt to respond to their trust with my performances on the pitch. Since I have arrived in England I have been a permanent fixture and that makes me happy.
“More games give you experience and I am at my best because of that.”
Adrian is a youth product of Real Betis and played 32 times for the club before the Hammers took him to east London in 2013.
He already has 80 appearances under his belt at West Ham and is expected to remain a key part of their squad for the next few seasons.
