Craig Stephen Noone (born 17 November 1987) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger for Cardiff City. Born in Kirkby, he has also played professional football for Plymouth Argyle, Exeter City and Brighton & Hove Albion.
Noone was born in Kirkby. He joined Liverpool when he was nine years old and was released two years later. He then played junior and amateur football before signing with Wrexham when he was 15. Having been released after a year there, Noone played non-league football and went to Myerscough football college for six months. He trained as a roofer while a non-league player and in 2008 worked on an extension at Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard's house.
He joined Skelmersdale United as a youth team player and made his first team debut during the 2005–06 season. Noone had a trial with Belgian club Royal Antwerp in January 2007 and later that year joined Burscough, which Skelmersdale manager Tommy Lawson described as a "great opportunity" for him. Having been signed by Liam Watson, Noone played regularly in the Conference North in 2007–08. Watson left Burscough for Southport in June 2008 and Noone joined him a few days later. In August, he made his league debut before Southport received a club record offer of £110,000 for him from Plymouth Argyle.
Noone signed a two-year contract with Argyle the next day. "I am very excited by this signing," said manager Paul Sturrock. "Craig comes to us with a glowing reputation. It is now up to him to prove that it is merited." He made his debut at the end of the month in a 0–0 draw at Burnley, and scored his first goal for the club in a 1–0 win at Coventry City in November.
