Nottingham Forest have announced the signing of 18-star Shamrock Rovers striker Michael Noonan. The footballer officially joins the English club 1 day after the end of his contract with the Irish team. This was reported to the Nottingham Forest official account.
Noonan is regarded as one of the most promising young footballers in Ireland. He played for the national national teams, and in 2025 he scored three goals in the U-17 World Championship. This year, the attacker rejected the call to the national team of Ireland U-21.
The forward also entered the history of European Cups. With 16 goals and 197 days, Noonan scored for Shamrock Rovers against Molde and became the youngest goal scorer in Conference League history..
Previously, Goffenheim, Ajax, Benfica, Celtic and other clubs showed serious interest in the footballer. In 2026, Shamrock Rovers expected to beat Goffenheim's offer by approximately €1.8 million, but the transfer never materialized.
