Career highlights

Danny Noonan (born November 29, 1968) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with the Brisbane Bears in the AFL during the early 1990s. He also spent time in Tasmania with TFL club Clarence and was an interstate representative for Tasmania.

Noonan, from Mooroolbark, was a footballer at Carlton as a youngster where he played for the reserves team but saw himself delisted before you could manage a senior appearance. As a result he joined Clarence, playing his first TFL season in 1988 and winning their Best and fairest award in 1990.

Brisbane recruited Noonan to the AFL with a Pre-Draft selection in 1990. A utility, he had 31 disposals in his debut game and played at Brisbane for three seasons before returning to Clarence.

In his second stint at Clarence he won two further Best and fairests as well as back to back William Leitch Medals in 1995 and 1996. His last TFL game was a premiership, with a Darrel Baldock Medal winning performance in the 1997 Grand Final win against Burnie.
