Mark Noble is in talks with West Ham over a post-playing career role at the club with the legendary captain set to end his playing career in May.
Noble renewed his Hammers contract a year ago but decided at the time that it would be his last as a player with the club he has spent his entire career. The central midfielder made the decision to retire now because he wanted to go out on his own terms and not because others thought he was past it.
"I have always said I want to go out when it is my decision, I don't want to be told by an agent or a club 'you are done, your legs have gone," Noble recently told Vibe with Five.
