James Tomkins happy with right-back role

James Tomkins insists that he is happy to continue playing at right-back to stay in the West Ham United side.

James Tomkins has insisted that he is happy to continue playing at right-back for West Ham United.

Despite earning his reputation as a central defender, Tomkins was once again used at right-back on his return to the side as the Hammers claimed a point in a goalless draw with Manchester United.

The 26-year-old has previously been linked with a move to Sunderland, but he is confident that he can continue to improve in a new position.

"I'm still learning there," he told the club's website. "It's a completely different experience for me - I'd be able to count the amount of times I've played there on two hands.

"I've had a couple of good performances there against some good teams so it's been a good test for me.

"I want to play anywhere for the team and I'm enjoying it at right-back."

West Ham are without a win in their last five games.
