Playing career

Club

Nagle played his club hurling with Dungarvan and has enjoyed some success.

In 2009 he won a county intermediate championship following a narrow 1-20 to 2-16 defeat of Clonea.^[1]

Inter-county

Nagle made his senior debut for Waterford in the National Hurling League in 2007.

In 2008 Nagle made his senior championship debut, however, all was not well for Waterford. In spite of a poor start and a change of management Nagle's side reached the All-Ireland final for the first time in forty-five years. Kilkenny provided the opposition and went on to trounce Waterford by 3-30 to 1-13 to claim a third All-Ireland title in-a-row.^[2]

Nagle lined out in another Munster final in 2010 with Cork providing the opposition. A 2-15 apiece draw was the result on that occasion, however, Waterford went on to win the replay after an extra-time goal by Dan Shanahan. It was a first Munster winners' medal for Nagle.
