Career

In 2016, Noriega signed for Shimizu S-Pulse.[1] After his career in Machida Zelvia, the lack of opportunities in Japan would prompt Noriega to begin playing in Peru by playing for Universidad de San Martín for the 2023 Liga 1 and later played for Comerciantes Unidos in the 2024 Liga 1.[2]

International career

Noriega would be called up to play for the Japan national under-19 football team and would play against Colombia, Belgium and the Japan national football team.[3] Despite this though, he would choose not to resign his own Peruvian nationality and after playing for San Martín, would begin playing for the Peru national under-23 football team beginning in 2023.[3] He would later play in the 2024 CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament where Peru would be knocked out in the group stage. On 22 March 2024, Noriega would mark in his debut for Peru in a international friendly against Nicaragua as a substitute for Carlos Ascues.[2]
