West Ham United duo Mark Noble and James Tomkins have penned new deals that will keep them at Upton Park for another four years.

The two players, who have come through the youth teams ranks at the club, join Scott Parker, Jack Collison, Freddie Sears, Carlton Cole and Dean Ashton in signing new long-term contracts with the Hammers recently.

Noble is delighted with the news, telling the club's official website: "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 added: "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've become more mature and going on loan did me a lot of good."
