Mark Noble has expressed his delight after committing his long-term future to West Ham United.

The 27-year-old, who has been with the Hammers for his entire career so far, has put pen to paper on a deal that will run until 2020.

"I'm obviously over the moon because it takes me until I'm 33," Noble told the club's official website. "I'm very happy with the contract and very grateful to the chairmen for giving me it and I'm looking forward to the next five years.

"I love playing football and I love playing for the club so to be rewarded with a new five-and-a-half-year contract is fantastic. In football you don't get any younger, but I keep myself fit and this is great for me and my family, because it gives us security for the rest of our lives.

"It's not about the money, though. I always give 100 per cent in every game I play, even if it's not enough. As a West Ham fan, I know we'll lose games like everyone does, but I'm settled, I'm happy and that's when I play my best football."

Noble reached a 300-game milestone in November last year.
