West Ham captain Noble: No time to consider retirement plans

West Ham captain Mark Noble admits he's had little time to consider his retirement plans this season.

The 35-year-old midfielder, who came through the Hammers' academy, announced just over a year ago that 2021-22 would be his final campaign playing for the club.

Asked about his retirement, Noble said: "If I'm honest, because of the way this season has gone, I haven't had a lot of time to think about it.

"You couldn't have written the season I've had this year - beating Manchester United away and Manchester City at home in the cups and then I've played in a lot of the Europa League games and have been involved in some incredible nights. For my last season, you just couldn't have made it up.

"I haven't had time to think about it, which is a great thing. It's been a real enjoyable season for myself and something I can cherish."
