Noble resolve

WEST Ham midfielder Mark Noble insists he will not go back on his decision to retire at the end of the season – even if the Hammers win the Europa League.

There is a real chance that he could go out on a high, with the Hammers gunning for Europa League glory.

David Moyes’ side host German outfit Eintracht Frankfurt tonight in the first leg of their semifinal and know winning the competition would be a ticket to the Champions League, but Noble says even that would not tempt him to keep playing.

He said: “Winning the Europa League and lifting the trophy, would I come back? No. And that’s my honest answer. To end on that would be pretty special.”
