West Ham United captain Mark Noble delighted by Alex Song return

West Ham United captain Mark Noble has revealed that he is "delighted" to see Alex Song back at the club.

The Barcelona midfielder, who spent last season on loan at Upton Park, signed another one-year deal with the Hammers on transfer deadline day.

When asked if he was pleased to see Song in East London once again, Noble told the club's official website: "Of course. Alex is a great player and we're delighted he's back. I'm sure he'll fit in just as well as he did last year, he's knows most of the boys and the set-up here. His addition will definitely bolster the squad we've already got."

West Ham are back in action on September 14 when they entertain Newcastle United in the Premier League.
