• Club’s former captain to start newly created role in January
• Noble to assist with recruitment, academy and wellbeing

Mark Noble is returning to West Ham as sporting director months after his retirement. The former captain will start in January in the newly created post at his boyhood club, where he played for 18 years.

With coaching currently not a priority for Noble, he will work closely with David Moyes and the directors. The 35-year-old will provide input, advice and assistance across West Ham’s football operation, with responsibilities including a focus on player recruitment, developing the academy and player and staff wellbeing.
