Francisco Antonio Noguerol Freijedo (born 9 July 1976 in San Cristovo de Cea, Ourense, Galicia) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a central defender.
Football career
After emerging through local giants Celta de Vigo's youth ranks, Noguerol made his professional debuts also in Galicia, loaned in the lower leagues. He returned to Celta in the 2000–01 season but only appeared in four La Liga games, after which he returned to the second division, going on to have a steady career in the category (for instance, from 2006 to 2008, at Albacete Balompié, he played in 80 out of 82 possible league matches).
For the 2008–09 campaign, 32-year-old Noguerol returned to Celta, still in the second level, for a third spell. He was relatively used in his two-year stay as the Vigo side constantly battled with relegation, eventually managing to stay afloat.
On 7 June 2015, after five seasons combined with Girona FC and Albacete, competing in both the second and third tiers, Noguerol announced his retirement at the age of 38.
