Mark Noble has claimed that he is playing the best football of his career under Sam Allardyce at West Ham United.

The 25-year-old has earned praise for his form so far this season and he has admitted that he is overjoyed with his role at Upton Park.

Noble told talkSPORT: "I'm thoroughly enjoying life under Sam.

"I'm probably playing the best football I've played in a long, long while.

"I'm settled in my position. I'm settled at the club and obviously I've just signed a new contract, so I was happy with that."

Noble recently announced his intention to be capped at senior level for England.
