Kevin Nolan wants to spend the rest of his career at West Ham. And there are indications that he 31-year-old midfielder will open talks about a contract extension in January. Nolan has made a big impact at Upton Park since his arrival from Newcastle two years ago for £4million. He was made captain by manager Sam Allardyce and led the team from the Championship back to the Premier League in his first season at the club. Nolan also played a key role in helping West Ham secure safety in the top flight on their return. “Kevin would love to stay at the club and make it his last one,” said a source close to the player. “He likes West Ham and has done well for them.” Nolan has two years left on his deal and would be interested in staying two additional seasons. His immediate priority is to help West Ham recover from their horror show against Stoke two weeks ago, a limp performance which ended in a 1-0 defeat. Nolan and his teammates want to respond today against Southampton – and Mark Noble reflected that determination. “I can’t remember the last time we played that badly at home,” he said. “At Upton Park, our form has been brilliant. Everyone came off and didn’t know what had happened. “Now we have got Southampton on a televised game. They are a good side who have spent a lot of money. It is the best time and the best place to fix it.”
