Txomin Nagore Arbizu (Domingo in Spanish; born 26 August 1974) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for CD Iruña as a defensive midfielder.

He amassed La Liga totals of 168 games and four goals over the course of eight seasons, representing Athletic Bilbao, Numancia, Atlético Madrid and Mallorca. Starting out at Osasuna he added 361 appearances in Segunda División, mainly with Numancia.[1][2]

Football career

Nagore was born in Irurtzun, Navarre. A product of CA Osasuna's youth system he made his La Liga debuts with Athletic Bilbao, appearing in 17 La Liga games in the club's 1997–98 runner-up league campaign; he made his debut in the competition on 6 September 1997, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Real Betis.

Nagore went on to represent CD Numancia, Atlético Madrid[3]– playing in 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, Celta de Vigo[4] and Levante UD, always being a regularly used defensive unit albeit in few starts.

In the 2006 summer 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.

On 9 May 2013 Nagore played the full 90 minutes against Córdoba CF (1–0 home win), for his 500th game as a professional.[5] In the summer, after a further 234 official appearances for Numancia, the 39-year-old signed with fellow league club CD Mirandés.[6]
