Playing career

During his career he played for Dundalk F.C. (2 spells), Shamrock Rovers (3 spells), Home Farm F.C. , Bohemian F.C., Valenciennes, Derry City, and Limerick.

He was a substitute on Home Farm's FAI Cup winning side of 1975 as a teenager. He signed for Shamrock Rovers in 1977 from Dundalk playing 19 consecutive games and in 1978 he earned his F.A. coaching badge. He then went to Home Farm before linking up with Bohemians for 2 seasons, and then it was back to Dundalk. His second stint at Milltown saw him link up with new Rovers manager Jim McLaughlin, this time as player/coach. His fiery style of play combined with his great coaching abilities won him two League and one FAI Cup medals with the now resurgent Hoops. He made 76 appearances in this second stint including 2 in the European Cup.

But the call for a fresh challenge saw Noel move to French second division club Valenciennes where he played for the first team and coached their youths side. In November 1985 he left France to become player-manager at Derry.[2] He had his contract terminated in November 1987.

Management career

In July 1988 he was appointed manager of Shamrock Rovers, The club was in a mess after losing Glenmalure Park and Noel was quoted "I have the best job I have ever had in football. It's the biggest tradition, the biggest club, in the country. We don't have the size of Derry's support but we're a bigger club".[3] He was sacked after 3 years in December 1991 after guiding the club to the 1991 FAI Cup Final.

He then had three different spells at Limerick F.C. where he won the League Cup in 1992. In 2001, he replaced Dermot Keely (who was on medical rest). He again worked with Shelbourne's management team in 2002, after coaching in the eircom League with Drogheda United. He also managed Finn Harps F.C. during their play-off battle with fierce local rivals Derry City F.C. in 2003.

Noel was appointed the manager of the Ireland Women's Senior football team in 2000. In 2009, the Senior women's team missed out on qualification to the European Championships, losing in a play-off to Iceland. In 2010 under his guidance, the women's Under 17 team finished runners up at the 2010 UEFA U-17 Women's Championship and qualified for the 2010 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup [1].

On foot of his success with the Irish women's squads, King was appointed the Head Coach of the Republic of Ireland under-21 national football team in July 2010 [2]. His first game in charge at Tallaght Stadium ended in a record win [3].

He had previously been part of the Republic of Ireland national football team coaching staff, attending the 1990 World Cup as part of the coaching team.
