In the 2012 summer transfer window, Nunes joined Blackburn Rovers on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee. He made his debut in the Football League Championship on 22 August, starting in the 2–1 home victory over Hull City.

On 24 January 2014, after only eight competitive appearances, Nunes returned to Italy by joining Serie B team U.S. Latina Calcio on a free transfer. In July, he returned to his country and moved to C.F. Os Belenenses.

Nunes appeared in 17 Primeira Liga games in his debut campaign, having renewed his link in December 2014 until June 2017. His first goal in the Portuguese top division came on 9 May 2015, as he scored a last-minute equaliser in a 1–1 away draw against Academica de Coimbra.

On 28 July 2021, Nunes joined Polish I liga club Widzew Lodz on a two-year deal.
