Nyron Paul Henry Nosworthy (born 11 October 1980) is an English-born Jamaican former footballer. Beginning his career with Gillingham he moved to Sunderland in 2005 with whom he played in the Premier League. After two lengthy loan spells with Sheffield United he made a permanent switch to Watford in 2012 but was released in the summer of 2014 after a loan spell with Bristol City. Born in Brixton, South London, Nosworthy has represented Jamaica at international level, playing ten games and scoring once.
Nosworthy began his career as a trainee at Gillingham. There he became famed for running to training on a morning as a warm up despite living a long way away. His first team début, on 28 November 1998, was unusual in that he came on as a first-half substitute but was himself substituted later in the match. The following season, he appeared regularly for Gillingham, and was a regular member of the starting eleven for the rest of his time at the club.
His primary position was at the back though sometimes played up front and was occasionally used as an emergency striker with some success, scoring twice in one game against Crystal Palace.
Nosworthy's contract expired at the end of the 2004–05 season, which saw Gillingham relegated to League One. Keen to play at a higher level, and aware of interest from other clubs, he chose not to accept a new deal with the club so left as a free agent.
Nosworthy signed for Sunderland on a free transfer on 13 June 2005. Expecting to start as backup to regular right back Stephen Wright, he was introduced to the FA Premier League rather sooner than anticipated when Wright sustained a serious knee injury after only one game. Nosworthy took full advantage of the opportunity, starting the majority of Sunderland's games.
