West Ham captain Noble: Moyes has put the club back together

West Ham captain Mark Noble has enjoyed working with manager David Moyes.

Noble will hang up the boots this season.

Of Moyes, who returned to the club for a second spell in charge in December 2019, Noble said: "What he did in the first place was a great job, but since he's been back he's built a team that the West Ham fans can be proud of again.

"I think he's sort of brought a club back together and for me it's been an amazing time to share that. He's built a very strong, athletic, attacking team and long may that continue."

Moyes said last August that he thought Noble, rather than coaching at West Ham, had "other ideas, maybe a role as a sporting director or a technical director" when he hung up his boots.

Noble added: "I've spoken to the manager about my situation and we'll see what the club want to do.

"I love the football club, it's an incredible club. My son (Lenny) is in the academy and I really do feel like I will always be associated with it. But it will have to be on the right terms.

"I've spoken to the manager about it numerous times, and he's really keen for me to stay on. I'm just going to wait and see what the club decide and I decide myself."
