Jonathan David Nurse (born 28 March 1981) is a Barbadian football coach and former professional footballer who is assistant manager at National League South club Enfield Town.
Nurse began his career at Sutton United in 2003, spending a season with the club before signing for Stevenage Borough ahead of the 2004–05 season. During the season, he was loaned out to Conference South club Lewes, before returning to his parent club and being part of the team that narrowly missed out on promotion to the Football League. He spent two further seasons at Stevenage, winning the FA Trophy during the 2006–07 season. At the start of that season, Nurse was briefly loaned out to Woking.
He eventually moved into the Football League with newly promoted Dagenham & Redbridge in May 2007. He spent five seasons at Dagenham, notably scoring the winning goal in the League Two play-off final in May 2010 as the club secured promotion to League One. He signed for League Two team Barnet on a free transfer ahead of the 2012–13 season. Nurse spent three years at Barnet, culminating in helping the club win promotion back to the Football League during the 2014–15 season under the new role of player-coach. He then signed for Isthmian League club Metropolitan Police in the summer of 2015 and was appointed player-coach in December 2015. Nurse also represented his native Barbados at international level, earning six caps.
Early life
Nurse was born in Bridgetown, Barbados, and moved to England in 1984, taking up residence in Fulham living with his grandparents and mother.
Club career

Nurse began playing football for Malden Vale under-13s, before representing Wallington Wanderers until the age of 17.{{Cite news

Nurse joined Morden and District League team Sutton Athletic of Sunday league football. He stated that he "went on to score lots of goals and was lucky enough to appear in a number of finals and promotion winning teams", as well as saying it was during this time that he "really learnt how to play football". In 2002, he joined Nuwood of the Surrey South Eastern Combination, and after impressing that season, he subsequently signed for Sutton United. After playing in the reserve team at the start of the 2003–04 season, scoring regularly, he earned a call-up to the first-team in October 2003. His first start for Sutton was a game against Basingstoke Town, and he scored his first goal shortly after in a 1–0 away victory at Kettering Town. The goal served as the catalyst for a run of eight goals in as many games, scoring in eight consecutive matches. He went on to score 19 times in 28 games that season.{{cite web
