[edit] Club career

[edit] West Ham United

Born in Kidbrooke, London,[3] Stanislas first joined West Ham United at the age of 10.[4] He had been playing youth and regular reserve team football for West Ham before joining League One side Southend United for six weeks on loan.[5]

[edit] Loan to Southend United

Stanislas made an immediate impact on his debut, scoring a brace, including a spectacular free kick, against Luton Town in the FA Cup second round on 29 November 2008.[6]

[edit] Return to West Ham

Stanislas returned to West Ham on 19 January 2009 having played nine games for Southend, scoring three goals, in all competitions.[7] He made his West Ham and Premier league debut on 16 March, replacing Savio Nsereko in the second half of a league match against West Bromwich Albion.[8] Stanislas scored his first goal on his first start in the Premier League for the club in a 2–0 home win against Sunderland on 4 April.[9]

On 9 April 2009, Stanislas signed a new long-term contract for four-and-a-half years, lasting until the summer of 2013.[10] He had an extended run in the starting XI when first choice midfielders Valon Behrami and Jack Collison were both out injured. On 24 May, the last matchday of the season, Stanislas scored the winner in the 2–1 win over Middlesbrough, which sealed Boro's relegation to the Championship.[11]

Stanislas scored two goals in West Ham's 3–1 League Cup second round victory over Millwall in August 2009. The first three minutes from time before scoring a penalty kick in extra time.[12] The game was marred by crowd trouble, including pitch invasions after both of Stanislas' goals. On 18 December 2010, he equalised for West Ham against Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park after coming on as a substitute for Pablo Barrera in the 57th minute and he scored in the 78th minute to make the scoreline 1–1.[13]

On 24 August 2011, Stanislas scored for West Ham in their 2–1 League Cup defeat to Aldershot.[14]

[edit] Burnley

Stanislas signed for Burnley on 31 August 2011, on a three-year contract.[15]

[edit] International career

Stanislas has been capped for England at under-19, under-20 and under-21 level.[16] He received his first call-up to the U-21 side for a friendly against the Netherlands on 11 August 2009 and made his debut in that match.[17] Stuart Pearce then named him in the squad for the 2011 European Championship qualifiers against Macedonia and Greece.

He is eligible to play for the Saint Lucia national team. He said "I'm half St Lucian so I could play internationals for them if I wanted... but I don't."[18]
