STRONG, DEFENSIVE LEADER
A leading presence within the group, Kian is a strong figure in City’s defence and has been since he joined the Academy at Under-12s.
He is confident when carrying the ball out from the back which pairs perfectly with his excellent range of passing.
Noble’s debut season in the Under-18s saw him made 30 appearances, including games for the EDS, during the 2023/24 campaign.
He was also a key member in City’s FA Youth Cup winning squad who beat Leeds United 4-0 at the Etihad.
A senior figure in the Under-18s side in 2024/25, Noble made 31 appearances across all competitions and was a key player as City won the Under-18 Premier League North.
His game has seen a huge improvement in his forward passing, assisting four goals, and he also scored three of his own.
He’ll be looking to bring those attributes, as well as his confidence in defence, to the EDS in 2025/26.
