Kevin Nolan has secured a move to West Ham in a deal said to be worth up to £4million for Newcastle United. The 29 year old midfielder has signed for 5 years with the Hammers after failing to agree an extension to his former deal at Newcastle.
Nolan told the official West Ham website whufc.co.uk;
"It's been a bit of a whirlwind, but obviously once I knew they wanted me, they have shown a certain hunger and desire to make sure I become a West Ham player.
Having the chance to link up with Sam again is a massive thing and obviously coming to such a massive club is great for me. I'm very sad to leave Newcastle but I'm coming to another massive club in my eyes, and hopefully I can be as successful as I was there.
I've come to West Ham because of the tradition of the club and everything about it. I've always enjoyed playing here and there was also the chance of linking up with Sam and working with him again.
The be all and end all was that this club wanted me and the owners put faith in me and have given me a security of contract. Now it's my time to repay them and hopefully I will do that."
Nolan will now have his 2nd battle back to the Premier League in 3 seasons.
