Adelaide's GM List Development and Strategy David Noble will stay with the Crows.

Noble told the Club today that he would not pursue the football operations head vacancy at the Western Bulldogs, where he previously worked as an assistant coach.

“The opportunities the Club has provided me to develop, improve and advance within the organisation havs been fantastic,” Noble said.

“I want to repay that investment. There also has been a lot of work put in to what we are doing in our department and I’d like to help that continue to develop.”

Noble has been with the Crows since 2005, when he became an assistant to Neil Craig.
