Club career

Atlético Madrid

Noguera was born in Madrid. After playing his first years as a senior with two clubs in the Community of Madrid, both in the Tercera División, he signed with Atlético Madrid in July 2009, initially being assigned to the C team also in that level.

After an impressive first season, Noguera was promoted to Atlético Madrid B in Segunda División B for the 2010–11 campaign. In the beginning of 2011, he was picked by manager Quique Sánchez Flores to train with the main squad and on 24 April he made his La Liga debut, coming on as a substitute for Elias for the last five minutes of a 4–1 home win against Levante UD.[1]

Blackpool

On 14 August 2012, Noguera signed a two-year contract with Football League Championship side Blackpool, with an option for a third year.[2] He made his debut on the 25th, playing the second half in a 6–0 victory over Ipswich Town at Bloomfield Road.[3]

Noguera's contract with the Seasiders was terminated on 29 July 2013, by mutual consent.[4] He left the club with only one official appearance to his credit.

Baku

At the end of August 2013, Noguera agreed to a one-year deal at FC Baku of the Azerbaijan Premier League.[5] He scored his first professional goal on 15 February of the following year, netting the last in a 2–0 home defeat of Neftçi PFK.[6]

Back to Spain

Following the expiration of his contract, Noguera returned to his homeland, joining CF Trival Valderas in the third tier.[7] On 18 July 2015, he signed with CF Fuenlabrada in the same level.[8]

Roughly one year later, Noguera moved to fellow league team Lorca FC.[9] He achieved promotion to Segunda División in 2017, contributing with three goals.[6] He scored his first as a professional in his country on 11 March 2018, but in a 1–3 away loss against Real Zaragoza;[10] the side would also be immediately relegated, after a 21st-place finish.[11]

On 26 June 2018, Noguera signed a two-year contract with CD Numancia.[12] On 26 December, after being sparingly used, he was loaned to third-tier Racing de Santander until the following 30 June.[13]

Goa

On 3 September 2020, Noguera joined Indian Super League's FC Goa on a two-year deal.[14]
