Playing career

Club

Nagle played his club hurling with Dungarvan.

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 SHC 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 consecutive All-Ireland SHC title.^[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 SHC winners' medal for Nagle.
