, he has spent most of his career in Malavan F.C. and then Pegah Gilan F.C., before being transferred to Persepolis.
. He was noticed by a lot of the fans because of his hard work during the entire 90 minutes and mostly for his great speed.
The 2006/07 season was really difficult for Nouri because he had to play in the centre defense with fellow midfielder Farzad Ashoubi due to Persepolis's lack of defenders. He became more noticeble during this season and was given the nickname Gladiator by the fans and by the Iranian Sport writers.
During the 2007/08 season he finally won the league with Persepolis during a season which he was once again pulled back from centre midfield to play as the left defender but in the last few weeks of the season he was put back in the centre midfield position and even scored in the second last game against Saba Battery.
He started the 2008/09 season by scoring the league's first goal against Saipa F.C. with a powerful 30 yards screamer. After Ghotbi
resigned as Persepolis's coach, former player and veteran Afshin Peyrovani
took over but he did not believe in Nouri as much as Ghotbi did. Nouri was really disappointed that he wasn't starting for Persepolis and almost left the team during the half season transfer period but he decided to stay with Persepolis and try to work things out and he was once again put in the line up by Peyrovani and even when Nelo Vingada
took over, Nouri was still one of the starters both in the league and the AFC Champions League
.
The third match of 2010/11 season against Mes was a great match for Nouri. After a very good run from the right flank he crossed the ball and the defender of Mes scored an own goal and after an equalizer by Mes, in final minutes of the match he scored the winning goal of Malavan.
In 2010/2011 season Nouri scored the winning goal of Malavan against his former club Perspolis, both in Azady stadium and in anzali. Some thought that he would not celebrate after scoring but he did and in Navad
program he stated that he would always celebrate when he scores for Malavan because he owes his career to Malavan.
