West Ham's Mark Noble set to sign long-term deal

West Ham's Mark Noble set to sign long-term deal West Ham midfielder Mark Noble is set to sign a new five-year deal with the club on Monday. The 25-year-old's current contract is due to expire next summer. However, he looks certain to commit his long-term future to West Ham, after chairman David Gold tweeted:  "Mark Noble should sign a new 5 year contract on Monday." Noble, who was named player of the year last season, has made 224 appearances for West Ham, scoring 26 goals. He came through the club's famed youth academy, making his professional debut at just 17 in a League Cup win over Southend in August 2004. Noble has represented England at youth level, captaining the under-21s, but has yet to make his senior debut.
