[12] He made his debut for the club in a 1–1 draw with Woking, replacing Afolabi Obafemi as a substitute. [13] In September 2014, his loan was extended with the club for a further month. [14] He was recalled from his loan by Dagenham in November 2014, having made thirteen appearances for the club. [15] He subsequently joined Conference South side St Albans City on an initial one-month youth loan. [16] He scored his only goal for the club in a 3–2 home defeat to Farnborough. [17] He returned to Dagenham in December 2014, having made seven appearances in all competitions for the club. [17] Later in the month he returned on loan to former side Thurrock of the Isthmian League Division One North for an initial one month.

[22] Nouble spent the 2017-18 season with Thurrock, leaving the club at the end of the season when they folded, before initially joining Tonbridge Angels in May 2018. [23] However, the move was called off before the start of the coming season due to his personal circumstances. [24] Nouble instead signed for Haringey Borough, and after 18 goals in the 2018-19 season, move up a division to join Concord Rangers the following summer.
