West Ham United striker Frank Nouble has had his loan spell at Gillingham extended for a third and final month.

The 20-year-old has scored five goals in 11 appearances for the Gills and he will now stay with the League Two side until December 17.

West Ham have refused permission to allow Nouble feature in the FA Cup and he will miss tonight’s first round replay against Bournemouth.

“I just want to keep playing. The manager’s given me a lot of confidence," Nouble said.

“I can't play in the Cup anyway because West Ham say I can't play, so let's carry on the way it's been going."

Nouble has had previous loan spells at West Brom, Swindon, Swansea, Barnsley and Charlton during his career.
