Club career

Born in Madrid, Nagore spent until the age of nearly 30 in lower league football, rarely settling with a team as he only played more than one year with Alicante CF.^[1][2] In the 2009–10 season he contributed 38 games and one goal – playoffs included – as AD Alcorcón promoted to Segunda División for the first time in its history.^[3]

In the 2012–13 campaign Nagore, still an undisputed starter for the Community of Madrid side,^[4] only missed three matches in the regular season, totalled nearly 3,500 minutes of action and added four goals^[5][6][7][8] as they nearly achieved another promotion via the playoffs.^[9] Previously, on 30 June 2012, he renewed his contract for one year.^[10]

Nagore first reached La Liga aged 33, signing on 7 January 2014 for six months with Levante UD as a replacement for the departed Christian Lell.^[11] He made his debut two days later, playing the second half of a 0–0 away draw against Rayo Vallecano in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey.^[12]

Nagore made his first appearance in the Spanish top flight on 9 February 2014, replacing injured Nikos Karabelas in the first half of an eventual 0–0 draw at Real Sociedad.^[13] Following his short spell, he returned to his previous club, signing a two-year deal on 10 July 2014.^[14]
