Carlo James Nash (born 13 September 1973) is an English former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. Nash is currently goalkeeping coach at Salford City.

Nash started his career at non-League Rossendale United and Clitheroe before being signed by Crystal Palace and then moved back north to Stockport County. He then played for Manchester City, Middlesbrough, Preston North End, Wigan Athletic, Stoke City for whom he helped gain promotion to the Premier League and Everton before re-joining Stoke in 2010. Throughout his career Nash was used mainly as a second and third choice keeper but did play regularly for Stockport and Preston.

Playing career[]

Early career[]

Born in Bolton, Lancashire, Nash started his career at local youth club Moss Bank before he joined Manchester United's academy. At age 14 he 'gave up' football for a while to finish his education. He played for non-League Rossendale United and Clitheroe with whom he played in the final of the FA Vase at Wembley Stadium losing 3–0 to Brigg Town. He was signed by Crystal Palace for a fee of £35,000 by manager Dave Bassett.[4] He was a key player for Crystal Palace when they got promoted to the Premier League in 1997, playing in the play-off final victory over Sheffield United.[5] However, in the summer of 1997 Palace signed Kevin Miller from Watford and he was their first choice for Crystal Palace's season in the Premier League,[6] and as a result Nash didn't play at all in the 1997–98 season.[7]

He had a three-year spell with Stockport County after leaving Crystal Palace. Stockport loaned Nash to Wolverhampton Wanderers in late 2000 to provide cover for Michael Oakes.[8] Shortly afterwards he made a move to Manchester City for a fee of £100,000 on a four-and-a-half-year deal in January 2001.[9] On his Premier League debut on 11 April 2001, he lost 4–0 at home to Arsenal.[10] During Kevin Keegan's management of Manchester City, Nash and Nicky Weaver were rotated frequently as starting goalkeeper.[11]

Nash was sold on to Middlesbrough for a nominal fee in August 2003.[12] His only appearance of the season was on 8 November in a 2–0 win at Aston Villa, as Mark Schwarzer was away with his sick daughter. He was praised for his performance by manager Steve McClaren.[13]

Preston North End[]

However, after only playing five games for the club in two years, he moved down a division to join Preston North End on a three-and-a-half-year contract in March 2005.[14] The club finished the season in the Championship play-off places, and lost the final by a single goal to West Ham United on 30 May.[15]

Preston chairman Derek Shaw said in June 2007 that the club received a bid from Fulham of £150,000 rising to £300,000 for Nash in January.[16] Nash wanted to join Fulham, and was subsequently dropped by Preston manager Paul Simpson.[17]

Wigan Athletic[]

Nash joined Wigan Athletic on a month-long emergency loan in February 2007, due to injuries to their first and second choice goalkeepers, Chris Kirkland and Mike Pollitt.[18] Following the conclusion of that loan deal, Nash returned to Preston, where he was transfer listed on 8 May.[19] Wigan signed him permanently for a fee of £300,000 on 27 June 2007.[20]

On 4 March 2008, Stoke City signed Nash on an emergency loan deal for the remainder of the 2007–08 season following Márton Fülöp's recall to Sunderland.[21] Nash played a vital part in Stoke's promotion to the Premier League with a penalty save against Watford and a number of important saves on the final day of the season against Leicester City.[22][23]

Nash made his only Wigan appearance on 26 August 2008 in the second round of the League Cup, in a 4–0 home win over Notts County.[24]

Everton[]

Nash moved to Everton, the team he supported as a boy, as reserve goalkeeper to Tim Howard on a two-year contract on 1 September 2008.[25] He made his only appearance in a Europa League dead rubber group tie at home to Belarusian club BATE Borisov on 17 December, which Everton lost 1–0.[26] He was on the bench for the 2009 FA Cup Final, which his team lost 2–1 to Chelsea.[27]

Stoke City[]

Following Nash's release from Everton he returned to Stoke after signing a one-year contract in July 2010 where he provided back-up to Thomas Sørensen and Asmir Begović.[28] On 24 August 2010 Nash made his second début for Stoke in a 2–1 League Cup win over Shrewsbury Town.[29] Nash signed a one-year contract extension at Stoke in January 2011[30] and was subsequently released on a free transfer at the end of the 2012–13 season.[31]

Norwich City[]

Nash joined Norwich City on 10 July 2013 as a replacement third choice goalkeeper for Jed Steer, providing cover for John Ruddy and Mark Bunn.[32][33] Norwich were relegated at the end of the season, and Nash was released by the club.

Coaching career[]

In July 2016, Nash was appointed goalkeeping coach at League One club Oldham Athletic by incoming manager Stephen Robinson.[34] He left Oldham in 2018 to join former Preston teammate Graham Alexander at Salford City.[35]

Personal life[]

Nash is an enthusiastic travel photographer in his spare time, and set up a travel book publishing company called 'Luxury Backpackers'.[36] Nash is a devout Christian and said in an interview with the Church Times, "I find that being a Christian helps me to deal with disappointing moments in football a lot better".[37] Nash's paternal grandmother was Italian.[38] Nash is also interested in languages, having learned French, German, Italian and Spanish, and practiced Chinese when he shared a room with Sun Jihai at Manchester City.[38]

In February 2014, Nash was stopped by police on a dual carriageway in Norfolk after being caught driving at 140 mph. He was found guilty in his absence at Norwich magistrates court.[39] On 4 August, when Nash was due to be sentenced, he failed to appear in court, having sent a letter through his solicitors asking for the case to be transferred to a court nearer to his home. The case was adjourned until 15 August.[40] In October 2014, Nash received a 34-week driving ban; it was heard in court that he was unemployed and poor following his divorce.[41]

In July 2015 Nash was cleared at Chester Crown Court of a charge of stalking his ex-wife, as the prosecution offered no evidence. He was compensated for his legal costs.[42]
