Jarrod Bowen has revealed the heartwarming way he will celebrate 20 goals for West Ham this season involving his former side Hereford FC.
The England international has been in good form for the Irons this season, scoring 20 goals in all competitions, 16 of which have come in the Premier League.
His meteoric rise has been one of England’s feel-good stories, having come through the academy of boyhood club Hereford before moving to Hull City in 2014.
From here, Bowen showed his class in the Championship and earned a move to the Premier League to West Ham, where he continued to impress.
After scoring his 20th goal of the season, Bowen has revealed he will pay tribute to his roots as he celebrates the milestone.

Bowen left fans confused by his latest purchase
Take to Xformerly Twitter, user Rob Pritchard revealed he asked the former Hereford man about his plans to celebrate scoring 20 goals this season.
Bowen replied: ‘I’m going home and playing as Hereford on Championship Manager 2008!’
The West Ham winger, who has amassed a small fortune as the Irons’ main man, then revealed he had made a bargain in the game.
“I bought it for 50 cents and am going to load it onto my computer!” he said.
This left some fans confused, as someone asked, “What computer does he have?” Most new ones don’t have a CD/DVD drive!’
The forward likely bought his copy on Steam, although it currently costs £3.99, so you’d have to pay a little more than the West Ham star if you want to follow in his footsteps.
Bowen will kick off in League Two as he goes back to 2008 with his former side.
He hopes he can replicate their performance in real life when he takes over Graham Turner’s job in the season that saw them promoted to League One.
Just two years after returning to the Football League they secured third place and promotion to League One.
He can rely on Theo Robinson, who scored thirteen goals in the league that season, while Robbie Threlfall was loaned from Liverpool in the same season.
Unfortunately for Bowen, he won’t be in the game until the age of 12, but he could add himself like rain if he wants to fire his team to glory.
