Mark Noble has committed his long-term future to West Ham United by signing a new five-year contract.
The 27-year-old midfielder, who has spent his entire career at West Ham put pen to paper on a new, long-term deal earlier this week. Canning Town-born Noble's new contract, which followed prolonged negotiations ties him to the Boleyn - and subsequently, the Olympic Stadium - until 2020.Although his existing contract, which was due to end this summer, included an option for the club to extend it until the end of the 2016/17 season both parties agreed to a new deal - one that should ensure Noble remains at West Ham until his early thirties.
Congrats to @Noble16Mark on his new deal. Been an unbelievable servant to @whufc_official. Top player.
