West Ham captain Mark Noble says he accepts a limited role this season.
Noble has started just two Premier League games all season, with David Moyes's side having racked up more points than any other West Ham team at this stage of a top-flight campaign.
"To be honest I've not been phased by it at all," Noble said. "You can't keep playing at that level. The Premier League really is a young man's game, it is such an athletic game and I've been lucky enough to play in it week in, week out for 16 years. I've had my fair share of games.
"The manager knows this club for me is where it all began and probably where it will finish. He's got me in the changing room so if he needs me he knows I'm here but I'm going to enjoy my last little bit of time as a West Ham player.
"Hopefully in the future I see myself being in the background at West Ham, making decisions and helping the manager and having a role that sort of way."
