In September 1995, he moved to Bristol City for a fee of £75,000, although first-team opportunities were more limited.
Nugent signed for Cardiff City in June 1997 for a transfer fee of £65,000. He again made over 100 appearances in all competitions and won player of the yesr during there before leaving Cardiff on a free transfer in January 2002 to return to Leyton Orient, where his career had begun.
In January 2003, Nugent signed for Swansea City on loan, making the move permanent a month later. He was released by the club's new manager
Kenny Jackett in June 2004 but a week later, he was surprisingly re-signed as a player and also appointed assistant manager.Including his appearances on loan, to the end of the 2005/06 season, Nugent had played 56 games for Swansea City in all competitions (with a further 27 appearances as a substitute) and had scored 19 goals.
