Career
Nouble started his career in the Youth systems at Chelsea and Millwall before being offered a scholarship by Dagenham & Redbridge in November 2011 and joined the club's academy programme in June 2012. In the summer of 2013 he featured in two pre-season friendlies for the first team before joining Isthmian League Division One North side Thurrock on work experience in August. He scored on his debut with the equaliser in the 3–1 defeat to AFC Sudbury. Two weeks later he scored the first in the 5–1 win over Harlow Town. His final goal of the loan spell came in a 3–0 win over Felixstowe & Walton United in the FA Cup. Nouble returned to the Daggers in September having made eleven appearances scoring three goals.

In November 2013, he joined Isthmian League Premier Division side Grays Athletic on loan. He made his debut for the club in the victory over Tilbury in the Isthmian League Cup, coming on as a substitute for Jeff Hammond and scoring with only his second touch.
