[edit] Career

[edit] College and Amateur

Noonan attended De Smet Jesuit High School, and played college soccer at Indiana University from 1999 to 2002. He was named an NSCAA first-team All-American his senior and junior seasons, and second-team All-American his sophomore year. His senior year, he also finished as runner-up to Alecko Eskandarian for the Hermann Trophy. He finished his career at Indiana with 48 goals and 31 assists. During his college years Noonan also played with the Mid-Michigan Bucks in the USL Premier Development League

[edit] Professional

Upon graduating, Noonan was selected in the first round (9th overall) by the New England Revolution in the 2003 MLS SuperDraft. Although he started slowly, Noonan soon resumed his scoring ways, finishing his first season with the Revs with ten goals and seven assists, and runner-up to Damani Ralph for Rookie of the Year. Noonan did even better his sophomore year, scoring eleven goals and registering eight assists, tying with Amado Guevara for the MLS Scoring Champion Award. A late-season slump saw Noonan end 2005 with eight goals and seven assists. Noonan's 2006 campaign was marred by injury and he appeared in only 14 games, netting just one goal. He began 2007 injured once again and then became a substitute as he regained his fitness. However, he rounded into form and finished the season with 7 goals. Noonan's option for the 2008 season was not picked up by New England and on January 23, 2008 he signed with Norwegian club Aalesunds FK.

On August 6, 2008 Noonan re-signed with MLS and was traded from the New England Revolution, who still retained his rights, to the Columbus Crew in exchange for the Crew’s natural first-round selection in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft and allocation money. Additionally, the teams traded spots in the current 2008 allocation standings – with Columbus moving into the 10th spot and New England moving to third – and agreed to considerations regarding 2009 allocation rankings. For Columbus Crew Noonan won the MLS Supporters' Shield, MLS Cup and the Trillium Cup, all of them in 2008.

Noonan was traded to Colorado Rapids in June 2009.

[edit] International

Noonan earned his first cap for the United States national team on March 13, 2004 against Haiti. While he has accumulated 12 caps, injuries and inconsistency prevented him from claiming a major role with the national team. However in early 2008 he started with the U.S. National Team against Sweden and registered an assist in a 2-0 victory.
