Mark Noble glad West Ham are back on track after turbulent spell

West Ham captain Mark Noble is relieved to have moved on from the 'hardest eight months' of his career after off-field issues disrupted the club's first season at the London Stadium.

West Ham, who finished seventh in the Premier league last season, got off to a bad start this term and were languishing in 18th place after seven games, but have rallied in recent months to climb to 11th.

They lost midfielder Manuel Lanzini, defender Aaron Cresswell, and strikers Andy Carroll and Andre Ayew to pre-season injuries, while Dimitri Payet handed in a transfer request and left for Marseille in January.
