Club career

Early career in Switzerland

Spiegel began his early career with hometown club FC Rüttenen before being snapped up by Swiss Super League-side Grasshopper Club of Zürich in August 2007. At Grasshopper, he rose through the youth ranks at the club, soon playing regularly for the reserves. He was unable to establish himself in their first team and was sent out on a short loan to FC Wil early in the 2011–2012 season though he did not make an appearance for the team. Spiegel returned to Grasshopper only to be sent on loan again, this time to SC Brühl for the rest of the season. He made his debut for Brühl on 6 November 2011 against FC Locarno in a 2–1 away loss. After a successful run in the first team during his loan at Brühl, Spiegel returned to Grasshopper.

West Ham United and loans

On 23 July 2012, Spiegel signed for West Ham United after their return to the English Premier League, for an undisclosed fee. [3] After joining West Ham United, Spiegel featured in games for the Under-21 squad and was a reserve goalkeeper, working as an understudy to Jussi Jääskeläinen and Adrián.

On 18 July 2014 he signed for Crawley Town on a one-month loan deal until 16 August 2014 [4] before returning to West Ham without having played for Crawley. [5] On 25 November 2014 he signed on a one-month loan for Barnet making his debut the same day in a 2–1 away defeat to Bristol Rovers. [6] This was his only appearance before his loan spell was cut short due to injury. [7]

On 20 February 2015 Spiegel signed for Carlisle United on an initial one-month loan deal. [8] He made his debut the following day in a 3–2 home defeat by Wycombe Wanderers. [9] He returned to West Ham on 23 March 2015 having made two appearances for Carlisle. [10]

Spiegel was part of the West Ham U23 team that won promotion to the Premier League 2 Division 1 via the 2016-17 Play Offs, defeating Newcastle Utd U23's in the final.
