Michael Noonan, born on 31 July 2008 (age 18), is a Republic of Ireland striker whose senior career has so far been shaped almost entirely at Shamrock Rovers.
His breakthrough has had substance rather than just novelty value. Across two league seasons with Rovers, he has made 55 league appearances and scored 12 goals, with his 2025 campaign bringing six goals in 30 league matches.
He has remained a regular part of the Shamrock Rovers first-team picture in 2026, with 25 league appearances and six goals. Across all competitions that year, he has made 33 appearances and scored seven times, including involvement in Champions League and Conference League qualifiers as well as the Conference League proper.
He was linked with a move to Celtic in January 2026. His current market value is around £340,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Noonan is still at an early stage, but his career already has a clear shape: a young Irish striker getting regular senior football at Shamrock Rovers and continuing to matter in their current side.
