Joseph Andre Nuttall (born 27 January 1997) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for Championship side Blackburn Rovers.

Career

Manchester City

He began his career in the Manchester City academy in 2013.[3][4]

Aberdeen

During the summer of 2015, Aberdeen completed the signing of the then-teenage Nuttall on a two year deal. A product of the City youth academy, he first spent a spell training with the club at the end of the 2014–15 season. He made his debut for the Dons U20s against Dundee United on 1 September 2015. He scored his first goal in the Youth Cup win over Fraserburgh at Pittodrie, and later scored against Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Nuttall made his professional debut for Aberdeen as an 81st-minute substitute in a league match against Heart of Midlothian on 16 May 2016.[5]

Loan Spells

On 10 November 2016, Nuttall moved to Stranraer on a 28-day loan.[6] Nuttall scored on his debut for the club in a 3–2 loss to Albion Rovers and then scored again in a 3–1 win against Stenhousemuir.[7] On 6 December 2016, Stranraer extended his loan deal until 18 January.[8] After returning to Aberdeen he joined Dumbarton on 31 March 2017, on an emergency loan until the end of the season.[9] Nuttall's contract expired in May 2017, resulting in him leaving Aberdeen without making any significant impact in the first-team.[10]

Blackburn Rovers

On 11 July, it was revealed that Nuttall had joined Blackburn Rovers on trial, and would be playing in a pre-season Rovers Development team game against Darwen; he scored a hat-trick in a 5–0 Rovers victory.[11] The next week he scored two goals for the Rovers development team against Ramsbottom United.[12] Nuttall made his senior first team debut coming on as a substitute in the second half of a pre-season game against Morecambe on 21 July 2017.[13] The next day, Blackburn announced he had signed a 12 month contract with option of a further 12 months.

In August 2017, Nuttall made his first team debut as a substitute and scored the winning goal for Blackburn in a 1-0 2017–18 EFL Trophy victory against Stoke City U21s.[14]

On 31 October, Nuttall made his league debut coming on in the second half against Fleetwood Town and scored again. He also came off the bench in the FA Cup against Barnet and scored, making it three goals in his first four appearances for Rovers.
