Yeah they seem to love him. Let's hope he could make the step up to the physical battle of League One.
Would be interested to see a midfield of him, Houghton and, Kemp.

This from West Ham:
Orford will embark on his first senior loan spell following a season which saw him sign a five-year contract extension at West Ham United, make his Premier League debut and captain England U19s. He was also nominated for Premier League 2 Player of the Season after contributing four goals and eight assists to help the Hammers secure a fourth-place finish in the 29-team division.
A product of the Academy of Football, who he joined at the age of five, Orford made his U18s debut at just 14 and went on to play a pivotal role in the U18s’ Premier League South and FA Youth Cup double-winning season in 2022/23, registering 22 goal involvements from central midfield. He has since been a key figure for the U21s.
His latest career milestone came in January where he was handed his first-team debut by Head Coach Graham Potter as a substitute against Crystal Palace at London Stadium.
Everyone at West Ham United wishes Lewis the very best for his loan spell at Stevenage and looks forward to following his continued development as he takes the next step in his career.

Wikipedia -
Orford has been compared with former West Ham United captain Declan Rice. He was named by English newspaper The Guardian as one of the best first-year scholars in the Premier League in September 2022 with John Brewin drawing a comparison with Frank Lampard "in his ability to arrive late on the scene for scoring opportunities."

If he turns out to be a goalscoring midfielder that would be a fine thing indeed.

Remember when youngster Dean Parrett was cited as the next Glenn Hoddle.

And Jebb as the next Wilshere. Proves some of these comparisons aren’t actually far of the mark.

Definitely seems like all the right noises being made. I just couldn’t resist a dig at Jebb and Wilshere into the bargain.

If he does not get much game time he will be recalled in Jan, assume there is a clause, but good luck to him
