Club career
Nagore was born in Irurtzun, Navarre. A product of CA Osasuna's youth system, he made his La Liga debut with Athletic Bilbao, playing 17 La Liga games in the club's 1997–98 runner-up league campaign; he first appeared 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– playing a career-best 40 matches in the 2001–02 season as the Colchoneros returned to the top flight, while adding three goals– RCD Mallorca, RC Celta de Vigo 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-tier return in his second year. In the following season he was also regularly played, but the Sorians were immediately relegated.
On 9 May 2013, Nagore featured the full 90 minutes against Córdoba CF (1–0 home win) for his 500th game as a professional. In the off-season, after a further 235 competitive appearances for Numancia, the 39-year-old signed with fellow Segunda División club CD Mirandés.
