‘Waste of money’ – Some West Ham fans react to the update on 33-yr-old’s future – originally posted on Sportslens.com
West Ham United midfielder Mark Noble has agreed on a short term contract extension with the London club.
As per the Athletic, the 33-year-old was due to be a free agent at the end of this season but he has now extended his stay at the London club for another year.
Despite not being a regular starter for the Hammers anymore Noble remains a key figure in the West Ham dressing room.
The 33-year-old is also involved in coaching some academy sessions and he is integral to mentoring some of the young players at the club like Ben Johnson.
Noble is undoubtedly a West Ham legend and it will be interesting to see if he can play European football with the Hammers next season.
It would be a proper sendoff for the fan favourite who has been at the club since 2000 as a youth player.
The Hammers are currently fifth in the Premier League table and there is a good chance they could qualify for European football next season.
Some of the Hammers fans think that his contract extension is not a great decision and they have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts on the news. Here is what they had to say.

People slag the board off for not making us a big club and delivering what they promised and then applaud signing noble on a new contract . He wouldn’t get a look in at any other club challenging in the top half

Possibly more sentimental than anything so he can have 1 more season in front of the fans
