David James Noble (born 2 February 1982) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for St Albans City.
Born in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, his career began as a trainee at Arsenal, with whom he won the FA Youth Cup in 2000 in a game where Noble won the man of the match. His first senior appearance was on loan at Watford, who he played for a season (2001–02), during Gianluca Vialli's reign, scoring once against Grimsby.
In 2003, he joined newly relegated West Ham United, but was unfruitful in his attempts to get himself into reckoning within the side.
Noble was then loaned for a month in 2004 at Boston United and linked up and thus signed with the side immediately afterwards.
In January 2006, he moved to Bristol City for £80,000, after enjoying a successful loan spell there. On 13 February 2007, he scored against Middlesbrough in the FA Cup Fourth Round Replay. But his most important strikes were the two goals he scored against Rotherham on 5 May 2007 which took City back into the second-highest tier of English football; the Championship.
Noble also scored in the Championship play-off semi-final against Crystal Palace, when his stoppage time strike from 30 yards gave Bristol City the advantage going into the second leg.
He joined Yeovil Town on loan from Bristol City on 25 March 2009, before being released on 31 May 2009.
On 4 January 2010, Noble signed for League One side Exeter City. He signed a new one-year contract with Exeter City in June 2011. In May 2012, Noble was released by Exeter after the club was relegated.
Noble signed for Rotherham United on 13 July 2012. He was taken on loan in the summer of 2003 to Cheltenham Town.
