Happy Hammers Noble and Tomkins sign long-term deals at Upton Park
West Ham starlets Mark Noble and James Tomkins have signed new deals that will keep them at Upton Park until 2013.
The academy graduates have established themselves as key men in Gianfranco Zola's first-team plans in the Hammers' push for seventh place.
Noble, 21, said: 'It's fantastic that the club have shown their belief in me. We're trying to go forward and push on and we're in a great position at the minute.

'We've got an important game on Saturday against Spurs and we've got to keep the run going. It's been a great season and we've been doing well.
'The new manager has come in and some of the football at times has been unbelievable and I think people have noticed that. I'm just delighted to have signed and hopefully we can push on and try to get that European place.'
Tomkins said: 'It's really great to have signed for this great club so I'm just delighted to get it all sorted. I've come in at a time when we're pushing for a European place and I'm really enjoying my football.
'I feel I'm getting better with each game, I have become more mature and going on loan did me a lot of good.'
