West Ham star Declan Rice fumes at traffic warden as car gets 'clamped' in hilarious prank by Mark Noble

At the tender age of just 20, Declan Rice has quickly emerged as one of West Ham's most important players.

The midfielder has also worked his way into the England senior side under Gareth Southgate and proved to be a mature presence on the ball in the centre of the park.

But like any young footballer, even Rice can fall victim to pranks from some of his more experienced team-mates - namely captain Mark Noble.

Along with Hammers full-back Ryan Fredericks, he was instructed to attend a promotional shoot with partners Betway - completely unaware that Noble, 32, was planning a hilarious prank.

In the footage, a traffic warden played by an actor clamps Rice's car while he is inside a building. When the London-born player emerges, he confronts the man asking why his car had been targeted.

Meanwhile, Noble is positioned in a towing truck nearby ready to spring a surprise on his West Ham team-mate. He starts giving instructions to the actor via an earpiece and asking him for selfies, to which Rice angrily refuses with a series of expletives.

Seemingly unaware of what is going on, Rice then refuses to allow the tow truck to take his Range Rover away.

The actor gives Noble the go-ahead to bring the truck round and the captain finally reveals himself as the brains behind the prank with Rice seen laughing in disbelief.
