Born in
Nimba County, Nagbe started his football sojourn with Young Survivor of Clara Town from 1982 to 1985. He then joined
Invincible Eleven (IE) in 1985 and thereafter played between 1986 and 1987 for
Mighty Barolle before returning to
IE, where he stayed up to 1988 after winning the
National League title. Along with fellow Liberian international
James Debbah, Nagbe moved to
Union Douala of Cameroon for the 1989 to 1990 season. Nagbe and Debbah joined
George Weah at
AS Monaco for the 1989–90 season, and then found himself at
SAS Épinal from 1990 to 1993. The three seasons that followed saw Nagbe at
OGC Nice, where he, alongside Debbah, were successful, including a
French Cup final win over
Guingamp that had another Liberian
Christopher Wreh. Nagbe had the opportunity of serving as captain of
Nice. Nagbe then played in Switzerland with
AC Lugano for the season of 1996–97. Nagbe together with his colleagues made history for the
Liberia national team when the
Lone Star qualified for her first
African Cup of Nations finals in South Africa. Before then, Liberia defeated the
Tunisia,
Mauritania and
Togo, but drew with
Senegal at home. Nagbe was then at
PAOK for three seasons (1997–2000) and later at
Panionios (2000–2001). The next season, he played for
PAS Giannina (2001–2002), the period with him as captain when the Liberia reached another
African Nations Cup finals but narrowly missed out on the
2002 FIFA World Cup in South Korea and Japan. His final journey before heading for retirement led Nagbe to Indonesia, where he reunited with dozens of his countrymen. There, he played for
PSPS,
Persema Malang and
PSIM Yogyakarta. He began playing for the Liberia national team in 1986 and ended in 2001 with 75 caps. In June 2011 Nagbe came out of retirement to play against
