Paul Brian Nugent (born 4 April 1983 in Alexandria) is a Scottish professional footballer, who plays for Scottish Second Division club Dumbarton.
Career
Nugent signed for Stirling Albion after failing to break into the Clyde first team and made his debut on 6 November 2001 against Celtic.[1] Over seven seasons, Nugent made 186 league appearances for the Binos, scoring 5 goals. Nugent won the 2006-07 season Goal Of The Season award for his goal against Airdrie United in the first game of the Scottish First Division play off final at Forthbank Stadium. Nugent was an unlikely candidate to gain an award in the 2006-07 season due to missing most of the season due to injury.
Nugent signed for East Fife in June 2008.[2] He was released at the end of the 2009-10 season and signed by Dumbarton shortly after, where he has been moved into a central defensive role, as opposed to his regular position - right back. Paul had a successful season with Dumbarton and has re-signed for another year.
