Club career

Nagore was born in Irurtzun, Navarre.

Nagore went on to represent CD Numancia, Atlético Madrid[4]– playing a career-best 40 matches in the 2001–02 season as the Colchoneros returned to the top flight, with an also personal-best three goals – RCD Mallorca, RC Celta de Vigo[5] and Levante UD, always being a regularly used defensive unit albeit in few starts.

In summer 2006, Nagore returned to Numancia, being a key element in the side's top level return in his second year. In the following season he was also regularly played, but the Sorians immediately dropped down a division.[6]

On 9 May 2013, Nagore featured the full 90 minutes against Córdoba CF (1–0 home win) for his 500th game as a professional.[7] In the off-season, after a further 234 official appearances for Numancia, the 39-year-old signed with fellow league club CD Mirandés.[8]
