West Ham United teenager Mark Noble says he will not leave the club even if they are playing in the Championship next season.

The 19-year-old locally-born midfielder returned to the first team last month and has played in the Hammers' last two games - against Blackburn Rovers and Middlesbrough - both of which have been won.

Alan Curbishley's side still look likely to be relegated after a grim campaign but Noble told the club's official website: "There will obviously be some changes and the majority of players will want to stay in the Premiership.

"But I'm sure there will be a few staying with me and if we can make a core of them then hopefully we can come straight back up.

"Having said that, I don't want to talk too much about relegation."
