West Ham United captain Mark Noble has been granted a testimonial match for March.

Noble, who was born nearby in Canning Town, has made almost 350 first team appearances for the Hammers since breaking through during the 2004/05 campaign.

The fixture will be between the first team and an West Ham All Stars XI and will take place at Upton Park on Easter Monday (March 28) at 2pm. All proceeds will go to charity.

 “I am hugely honoured and grateful that the board have awarded me a Testimonial match at the Boleyn Ground,” Noble told the club's website.

“This is where I come from and this is my football club, so I can think of nothing better than having my testimonial at the stadium where I have laughed, cheered and cried, both as a fan and as a player.

“Everyone knows how much West Ham United means to me, so to have the opportunity to share a pitch with the players who I have grown up with will be fantastic – and it will be even more special to have my family, friends and so many Hammers fans watching from the stands.

“I am pleased and proud to say we will be donating all the proceeds from my Testimonial match to three charities that mean a huge amount to me – Richard House Children’s Hospice, Help for Heroes and the DT38 Foundation.”

Joint-chairmen David Gold and David Sullivan added: "Mark is the modern-day ‘Mr West Ham’, so it was natural that he would be granted a testimonial at the end of what will be his 12th season as a member of the first-team squad.

“Mark has been a tremendous servant to West Ham United both on the field and off it and this testimonial match is recognition of the long and dignified career he has enjoyed in a Claret and Blue shirt."
