<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">We are delighted to announce that Mark Noble is to return to the Club in the role of Sporting Director.</p>
<p>Noble will officially start in his post on 2 January 2023, following his retirement as a player earlier this year.</p>
<p>&mdash; West Ham United (@WestHam) <a href="https://twitter.com/WestHam/status/1572880884453101569?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 22, 2022</a></p></blockquote>

<p>“I’m really happy to be coming back and can’t wait to get started,” Noble said. “I’d like to thank the club for giving me the opportunity – it’s a great honour for me to take up this role.</p>
<p>“I’ve spent the last 24 years as a player here, first in the academy and then in the first team, and obviously have a deep knowledge and understanding of the club.</p>
<p>“The last two years, as my playing days began to naturally wind down, gave me a fantastic opportunity to really spend some time educating myself and gaining greater knowledge and understanding of the work that goes on behind the scenes.</p>
<p>“This club has made some fantastic strides forward in that period and I am really looking forward to coming back at such an exciting time.”</p>
<p>Noble added on the West Ham website: “I see it as a position that I can grow and develop in both personally and professionally.</p>
<p>“There are always difficult decisions to be made in football but along with my colleagues at the club, I will continue to put the best interests of West Ham United first.</p>
<p>“The last two seasons have been a time of great progress, and I want to help us to continue moving forwards in the right direction.</p>
<p>“I believe in the ambition shown by the board and I am excited about helping to build on the success that has been delivered so far.”</p>
<p>Moyes backed the appointment.</p>
<p>“I am really pleased to welcome Mark back and to have the opportunity to work closely with him again. He was a great asset and strength to me as a player and a captain, and I know he will give the club and myself fantastic support again in this role,” Moyes said.</p>
<p>“It is an opportunity for him to develop and grow in the position and he will have our full support in doing so.</p>
<p>“There is nobody better qualified when it comes to understanding West Ham United and its ethos, and to bring new ideas to take the club forward in the right direction.”</p>
