Noel Goldthorpe (born 25 December 1969) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played in the halves in the 1990s.
Goldthorpe also played for the Western Suburbs Magpies, Hunter Mariners, Adelaide Rams and the North Queensland Cowboys, whom he captained.
[citation needed] Goldthorpe made his first grade debut for Western Suburbs on 1 July 1990, coming off the bench in a loss to Cronulla.
In an ironic twist, however, he lost his starting spot at his club due to the impressive debut of Brett Kimmorley who had played in his stead while he was on representative duty with New South Wales.
Goldthorpe then joined the now defunct Adelaide Rams and played in their final ever match as a club, which was a 34–20 loss against Newcastle.
