He is currently the assistant coach for the [Singapore national team](/source/Singapore_national_football_team) under [Gavin Lee](/source/Gavin_Lee_(football_coach)). Rahman's versatility means he can be employed in defence and in midfield for both club and country. ## Club career Noh has been with [Geylang United](/source/Geylang_United) since the second season of the [S-League](/source/S-League) in 1997. He is considered the most senior player in terms of years spent with the club, and was the vice-captain for the squad. He is a natural right-back, though he can also play in the defensive midfield, centre-back and left-back positions when the need arises. He left Geylang United in 2009 after 11 years with the club, citing his desire to seek new challenges, and joined [Sengkang Punggol](/source/Sengkang_Punggol) along with his former team-mates [Aide Iskandar](/source/Aide_Iskandar) and [Amos Boon](/source/Amos_Boon). ## International career Noh made his debut for the national team in 2001, in a friendly match against [Thailand](/source/Thailand_national_football_team) in a 1–1 draw. Noh was instrumental in a friendly match against [New Zealand](/source/New_Zealand_men's_national_football_team) on 22 May 2001 where Singapore famously defeated New Zealand 3–0. Called up by then Singapore head coach, [Jan B. Poulsen](/source/Jan_B._Poulsen) to help fill the gap left by the absence of the injured [Lim Tong Hai](/source/Lim_Tong_Hai) when the veteran full-back sustained a long injury, Noh shone against the likes of [Kyrgyzstan](/source/Kyrgyzstan_national_football_team), [Kuwait](/source/Kuwait) and [Bahrain](/source/Bahrain) in the [2002 FIFA World Cup qualification](/source/2002_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_(AFC)) matches with his intelligent passing and astute positioning. However, he sustain a debilitating knee injury that left him out of sorts for the [2002 AFF Championship](/source/2002_AFF_Championship), but he has shown signs of getting back to his best for the national team. However, having just recovered from a knee injury, he was called up and rushed to play in the 2002 AFF Championship opening group match against [Malaysia](/source/Malaysia_national_football_team) and it came with debilitating consequences. He was out of sorts together with the whole Singapore back line and Singapore lost 4–0 at home as a result. As a result, many left fuming and doubting his ability at the international stage. Noh was in the squads that won back-to-back titles in the [2004 AFF Championship](/source/2004_AFF_Championship)[1] and the [2007 AFF Championship](/source/2007_AFF_Championship). His brave block to deflect a goal-bound effort away for a corner in the second leg of the 2007 AFF Championship final against Thailand has earned him the 'cult hero' status among the Singaporean fans. Noh was also praised by fans and the media for his excellent performances for the national side for the [2010 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers](/source/2010_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_(AFC)) and its related friendlies. Noh was one of the three Singapore players to wear the captain's armband at the [2008 AFF Championship](/source/2008_AFF_Championship), cementing his position as vice-captain of the squad behind [Indra Sahdan Daud](/source/Indra_Sahdan_Daud) after starting as captain against [Myanmar](/source/Myanmar_national_football_team) and [Vietnam](/source/Vietnam_national_football_team). ## Managerial career ### Home United After retiring from football, Noh transition into coaching.
