Born in Canning Town, Noble played for Barking Colts and moved to Arsenal’s academy at age 11. His father, however, who would drive him to training, could not always arrange the time to get Noble to training sessions due to the distance from their home in Beckton. West Ham signed Nobes as a youth player. He became the youngest player ever to appear in their reserve team, aged 15. He became made his debut in the senior team at the age of just 17 in the League Cup in August 2004 in a 2–0 win against Southend United. He made his league debut in the Championship in January 2005, in a 4–2 defeat away at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
