WEST Ham's controversial Czech defender Tomas Repka will stay at Upton Park for two more years - despite tearing up the final year of his existing contract in April.

The 31-year-old was expected to quit Hammers and return to his native land to be closer to his family, but promotion inspired a re-think.

Now reports in the Czech media claim he is staying at Upton Park, but will be taking a pay-cut.
