Noah Paul James (born 14 February 2001) is an Australian professional soccer player who plays as a goalkeeper for Sydney Olympic,[1] on loan from Newcastle Jets.

Club career[edit]

Newcastle Jets[edit]

James nearly featured as the substitute goalkeeper for Newcastle Jets in the 2018 A-League Grand Final, but was ineligible as he had not participated in the 2017–18 Y-League.[2]

James and Jack Simmons signed senior scholarship contracts with the Jets in October 2018.[3]

In July 2019, James was called up to the Australian under-20 side.[4]

James was injured for several months at the start of 2020 after rupturing ligaments in his hand.[5] He made his A-League debut for the Jets in a win over Wellington Phoenix in the Jets' final game of the 2019–20 A-League, earning praise from coach Carl Robinson.[6]

Loan to Western Sydney Wanderers[edit]

On 30 December 2020, James was loaned to Western Sydney Wanderers for the 2020–21 A-League after extending his Newcastle Jets' contract by 3 years.[7][8]

Loan to Dandenong Thunder[edit]

On 10 February 2022, James was loaned out to Dandenong Thunder SC for the 2022 NPL Victoria season.[9]
