Harte Set For Hammers?

Last updated : 02 June 2005 By Kevin Markey
Hammers boss Alan Pardew may make him his first major buy after promotion from the Championship.

The former Whites left-back plays for Spanish side Levante and has had an impressive first season in La Liga but could not prevent his club being relegated last week.

The 27-year-old left-back has also won back his place in the Republic of Ireland squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

With a chance of playing in the World Cup next year, Harte may be tempted with a move back to the Premiership in order to further impress the Ireland manager Brian Kerr.
