Callaghan, raised in Sydney, was a top-ranked junior in New South Wales and trained with Charlie Hollis, who also coached Rod Laver.[2][3] He toured professionally for 10 years and during the 1970s he competed on the European circuit. He competed at the Wimbledon Championships five times whereby both Noel and fellow Aussie Jenny Walker made the round of 16 in 1976, losing a tight 3 setter on Centre Court.
A former New South Wales state coach, Callaghan has coached many professional players, including Brad Drewett, Wally Masur, Jelena Dokic, and Samantha Stosur.
