Spennymoor Town announced on X that the “experienced front man” had signed until the end of the season.

At the same time, Gateshead posted that Nouble would be taking on a first-team coaching role and will stop playing by mutual consent.

The two grounds sit 24.5 miles away from each other, less than 40 minute drive for the seasoned striker.

Nouble has spent the last 16 years dancing between clubs, with Spennymoor the 25th side of his professional career.

Seemingly, the striker paused playing with Gateshead who sit at the bottom in the National League and joined Rob Elliot’s coaching staff.

But he will then begin playing with the side 14th in National League North, Spennymoor.

In the announcement, Gateshead cited his 35 club appearances and three goals since March 2025.

Nouble left Chelsea in his youth to turn professional at West Ham in 2009.

After three years with the Hammers, the striker was sent on loan to the likes of West Brom, Swindon, Charlton and Gillingham.

Nouble made the permanent shift to Wolves in 2012.

And then Ipswich in the following season, before trying his hand in the Chinese League.

Returning to the EFL, Nouble played with Gillingham, Southend, Newport, Colchester and Plymouth.

Before moving to Gateshead, he gained experience with Yeovil netting 11 times landing them the National League South title in 2023/24.
