Jonathan David Nurse (born 28 March 1981) is a Barbadian football coach and former professional footballer who is head of football operations at National League South club Enfield Town. Primarily a striker, he was also deployed as a winger during his career.
Nurse began his senior career at Sutton United before signing for Stevenage Borough ahead of the 2004–05 season, during which he was loaned to Lewes. He played regularly on his return as the club reached the Conference National play-off final, and later had a brief loan at Woking. He remained at Stevenage for three seasons, helping them win the FA Trophy in 2007, the first competitive final at the new Wembley Stadium. That summer, he moved into the Football League with Dagenham & Redbridge, where he made 205 appearances across five years and scored the decisive goal in the 2010 League Two play-off final as the club secured promotion to League One.
He joined Barnet in 2012, spending three seasons with the club and contributing to their promotion back to the Football League during the 2014–15 season, by which time he assumed player-coach responsibilities. Nurse later signed for Metropolitan Police in the summer of 2015, where he was appointed player-coach before transitioning into full-time coaching. At international level, he earned six caps for Barbados.
