Noah John Michael Wadsworth (born 26 January 2005) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for National League North club Buxton.

Career

Wadsworth began his career with Bradford City, and moved on loan to Tadcaster Albion in February 2023.[2] He turned professional in July 2023, alongside Freddy Jeffreys and Sam Bentley.[3][4] He moved on loan to Farsley Celtic in November 2023,[5][6] The loan was extended in December 2023,[7] before Wadsworth was recalled by Bradford City in February 2024,[8] impressing manager Graham Alexander.[9]

He was released by Bradford City at the end of the 2023–24 season.[10][11] Alexander explained the decision, saying that whilst Wadsworth had made progress, it was not as much as the club was expecting.[12] After Wadsworth left Bradford, his younger brother Gabe joined the club's first-team.[13]

On 3 July 2024, Wadsworth signed a one-year contract with Hull City.[14][15] In December 2024 he signed on loan for Chester.[16] In March 2025 he signed on loan for Boston United.[17] He was offered a new contract by Hull at the end of the 2024–25 season.[18]

On 22 November 2025, Wadsworth moved to Scarborough Athletic on a month-long loan spell.[19]

He was released by Hull at the end of the 2025–26 season.[20]

On 8 August 2026, Wadsworth joined National League North club Buxton.[21]

Personal life

His younger brother Gabe Wadsworth is also a footballer for Bradford City.[4]
