Daniel Rigge signed Scholarship terms with the West Ham United Academy in June 2022. 

An England U16s international, Rigge moved to the Academy of Football following a spell with Manchester City, having successfully trialed with the Hammers. 

The young midfielder is considered one of the brightest prospects in English football and compared his playing style to Manuel Lanzini, as he looks to drive into attacking areas and create goalscoring opportunities for his teammates.
