Skipper wants to end career at Upton Park
Lucas Neill wants to finish his career at West Ham United, while youngster Kyel Reid has signed a new contract.
Australian defender Neill moved to Upton Park from Blackburn Rovers in January and is under contract until the summer of 2009.
And though the Hammers captain has brushed off reports he is demanding a new deal, he confirmed he is keen to stay with the club.
"I expressed an interest, as did the club, in finishing my career here because I was on a two-year deal in the summer, but there has been so much going on that that was the last said about it," Neill told the club's official website.
"I'm the captain of West Ham United and I would love to finish my career here, but we've been through a sticky patch and the last thing I'm thinking about is myself."
Reid determined
Meanwhile, teenage winger Reid has agreed an extension to his Upton Park contract, which binds him to the club until 2009.
Reid, who spent much of last season on loan at Barnsley, is now aiming to push for a first-team spot after making a brief appearance in the Carling Cup against Plymouth in September.
He said: "I am really happy to commit to the club. I am determined to do my best and fight for a first-team place.
"I am learning a lot from the senior players, especially Matty Etherington and Luis Boa Morte in my position, and want to keep on making good progress."
