Club career
Nagy started his career in Felcsút FC and then in 2011 he was signed by the partner team of Felcsút, Videoton FC. However, he could not earn any appearances during his two year at Videoton. Therefore, he was loaned to Nemzeti Bajnokság II club Puskás Akadémia of Felcsút, where he could play eight matches in the 2012–13 Nemzeti Bajnokság II season. His short spell convinced the owner of the club and he was purchased in 2013.
