Noble signed with the Stealth after spending his summer playing for the Brampton Excelsiors of Major League Lacrosse in Ontario. Noble appeared in four games for the team that won the Mann Cup, widely considered the biggest prize in lacrosse.

The six new players will join the rest of the team at training camp in December. The NLL allows 40 players to begin training camp with each team, with the roster being cut down to 23 players before the beginning of the season in January.
