West Ham captain Mark Noble says he won't waver from retirement plans.

The 34-year-old will hang up his boots at the end of this season after spending his entire career at the Hammers.

Noble and his team-mates can write themselves into the West Ham history books by winning the Europa League next month but the captain revealed he will not make a U-turn on his retirement whatever the outcome.

"I've been asked so many times by different people. The reason we'll get to the Champions League is winning the Europa League," he said ahead of their semi-final first leg at home to Eintracht Frankfurt.

"Winning the Europa League and lifting the trophy, would I come back after? No. To end on that would be pretty special.

"I'll happily come and watch the Champions League games with the Europa League trophy on the next chair."
