West Ham United have officially announced the sensational return of veteran goalkeeper Łukasz Fabiański, who has rejoined the club on a contract that will keep him at the London Stadium until the end of the 2025/26 season. The move marks a remarkable homecoming for one of the club’s most respected figures, as the Polish international returns to bring leadership, experience, and stability back to the Hammers’ dressing room.
According to reports from within the club, Fabiański’s return was driven by a combination of manager David Moyes’ desire for seasoned experience and the goalkeeper’s unwavering passion for West Ham United. The 39-year-old, who spent six memorable seasons with the club between 2018 and 2024, left an indelible mark both on and off the pitch. His professionalism, consistency, and commanding presence made him a fan favorite and a key part of the team’s defensive foundation during his previous spell.
Fabiański’s decision to rejoin West Ham comes after a brief period away from the Premier League, during which he considered retirement. However, sources close to the player suggest that the pull of West Ham’s family-like atmosphere and Moyes’ personal request convinced him to lace up his gloves once more. The goalkeeper reportedly turned down offers from clubs in Poland and the Middle East, prioritizing a return to East London — a place he still considers “home.”
In his statement following the announcement, Fabiański expressed heartfelt emotions about his comeback:
> “West Ham has always meant something special to me. The fans, the atmosphere, the memories — it’s a club that feels like family. When the opportunity came to come back, I didn’t think twice. I’m here to give everything once again, to help the team and guide the younger players coming through.”
Manager David Moyes also welcomed the veteran’s return, praising his mentality and leadership qualities:
> “Łukasz is one of the most reliable and respected goalkeepers I’ve ever worked with. His professionalism sets the standard for everyone around him. Having him back in the squad is a massive boost, especially for our younger goalkeepers. He knows what this club stands for, and that experience will be invaluable in the dressing room.”
Fabiański’s comeback is expected to complement the club’s long-term plans, with Alphonse Areola still considered the first-choice goalkeeper. The club sees Fabiański’s presence as crucial in mentoring the next generation while providing world-class backup when called upon.
West Ham United supporters have already flooded social media with messages of joy and appreciation for their returning hero, with many calling him “Mr. Reliable” and “a true Hammer legend.”
With Fabiański’s signature now confirmed until June 2026, West Ham continues to reinforce both its squad depth and its commitment to preserving the club’s values — loyalty, passion, and hard work. The Hammers faithful can look forward to seeing their beloved goalkeeper back between the posts, defending the London Stadium with the same pride that has defined his illustrious career.
