Mark Noble claims that he wants to retire at West Ham United, but he may only play for another three years.
Mark Noble has hinted to West Ham United’s official website that he could retire when his current contract at the London Stadium comes to an end.
Noble still has three years left on his deal at West Ham, and he admits that he never wants to play for another club.
The central midfielder has broken through the Hammers’ academy to become the first-team captain.
And Noble wants to make sure he finishes his career as a one club player.
“I would like to finish my career here, that’s what I’ve always thought,” he said.
“I can’t see myself playing for another football team, but football is such a changing world so you can’t ever tell what’s going to happen next season.
“As I said, I’ve got three years left on my deal here and I’m not sure my body will let me go far past the age of 33, to be honest!”
Noble has made 395 appearances for West Ham over his career to date, and he still plays a key role for the London side.
The central midfielder appears to be a real favourite of Slaven Bilic, with his experience now crucial in the dressing room.
Noble has helped West Ham recover from a poor start this season to move into ninth place in the Premier League table.
The Hammers are next in action in two weekends’ time, when they take on Watford at Vicarage Road.
