Noel Garvan is a Gaelic football player from Laois in Ireland.
His club is St Josephs GAA club. He usually plays at midfield for Laois and played a huge part in 2003 when Laois ended the 57 year wait for the Leinster Senior Football Championship title.
Noel emerged on to the scene in 1996 as part of the Laois minor team that won the All-Ireland Minor Football Championship title.
Son of Tommy Garvan, himself no mean operator on a football field, Noel caught the eye with his spectacular high fielding as a minor and quickly progressed through the ranks picking up a Leinster U21 Football Championship medal in 1998 before adding a prestigious Sigerson Cup title to his honours list in 1999 when he also won the Player of the Tournament award with IT Tralee.
After a spectacular 2005 campaign in which he captained his county to the O'Byrne Cup, Noel received a well deserved All-Star nomination. In the same year, he won an Interprovincial Championship medal with his province Leinster.
With St Josephs GAA Noel has picked up two Laois Senior Football Championship medals.
