West Ham United can confirm that Kevin Nolan has left the Club by mutual consent.

The 33-year-old has departed the Hammers after four years, 157 games and 31 goals and leaves with the very best wishes of everyone at the Boleyn Ground.

Nolan, who was signed from Newcastle United in June 2011, captained West Ham to promotion via a memorable Championship Play-Off final in his first season before helping to establish the Club in the Barclays Premier League. The Liverpool-born player also finished as the Hammers' leading scorer in the 2012/13 and 2013/14 seasons.

West Ham United would like to thank Kevin for his considerable effort and commitment over the past four seasons and wish him all the very best for the future, on and off the football pitch.

Nolan said: "I¹ve thoroughly enjoyed my time at West Ham United and will take some great memories with me. I¹m now looking forward to the next challenge playing for a new club."
