He was noticed by a lot of the fans because of his hard work during the entire 90 minutes and mostly for his great speed.
The 2006–07 season was really difficult for Nouri because he had to play in the centre defense with fellow midfielder Farzad Ashoubi due to Persepolis's lack of defenders.
Nouri was really disappointed that he wasn't starting for Persepolis and almost left the team during the half season transfer period but he decided to stay with Persepolis and try to work things out and he was once again put in the line up by Peyrovani and even when Nelo Vingada took over, Nouri was still one of the starters both in the league and the AFC Champions League.
In the first league match of 2009–10 season he scored the winning goal of Malavan vs Mes Kerman.
In 2010–11 season, Nouri scored the winning goal of Malavan against his former club Perspolis, both in Azady stadium and in anzali.
Nouri made his debut for the Iranian national football team at the LG cup tournament held in Tehran in August 2003, coming on as a substitute against Iraq.
Under Carlos Queiroz's management he has become a utility man and increasingly been used in the left back position.
