Benjamin Nunn (born 25 October 1989) is an English professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Ware.
Early career
Nunn started his career at Boston United and made his first team debut on 14 April 2007 at the age of seventeen whilst still a first year scholar, replacing Jamie Stevens as a late substitute in the 3–0 away defeat to Hereford United.[2] Boston were in severe financial difficulty at the time and were deducted ten points and relegated from League Two to the Conference Premier at the end of the 2006–07 season.[3] In June 2007, following the Football Conference AGM, it was decided that Boston should be demoted to the Conference North and Nunn subsequently left the club.[3]
He started the second year of his scholarship with Conference Premier side Rushden & Diamonds and played three games in the Hillier Cup before making his only first team appearance in April 2008, replacing Chris Hope as a substitute in the 3–0 defeat to Grays Athletic.[4][5] However, it wasn't enough to earn a professional contract and he was released at the end of his scholarship in the summer 2008.[4]
After a successful trial, Nunn joined Southern League Premier Division side Cambridge City in August 2008.[6] He was a first team regular throughout the season making thirty league appearances as the side finished in 4th position and eventually lost out to Gloucester City in the play-off semi final.[7] The side also won the Cambridgeshire Invitation Cup beating Cambridge Regional College in the final 1–0.[7]
After a year at Cambridge City, Nunn moved up a division to sign for Conference South side Bishop's Stortford for the 2009–10 season.[8] He was a first team regular throughout the majority of the season making twenty-six league appearances as Stortford struggled near the bottom of the table.[9] However, he helped the club reach the final of the Hertfordshire Senior Cup, featuring in the 8–2 semi-final win over Stevenage Borough Reserves before he left the club in March 2010.[8]
Chelmsford City
Later that month he joined divisional rivals Chelmsford City who were aiming for promotion via the play-offs.[8] He featured in five of the last six league games as the club finished in 3rd position, but were later beaten 3–0 on aggregate by Bath City in the play-off semi-final.[9] Nunn left the club in May 2012, as the club failed to pay the players wages from March 2012.[10]
Boreham Wood
In July 2012, Nunn joined Conference South side Boreham Wood after impressing in a pre-season trial match against Watford.[11] In September 2014, he took a five-month break away from football to go travelling across Asia, Australia and New Zealand.[12] He returned to action on 28 February 2015 in the 2–1 defeat to Havant & Waterlooville, but was sent off for a late challenge shortly after being substituted on.[13] He only missed one more match in the run-in to the end of the season and Boreham Wood were eventually promoted to the National League after defeating Whitehawk in the play-off final.[9]
In October 2015, after losing his place in the side, he was sent out on loan to National League South side St Albans City for some more regular game time.[14]
Dagenham & Redbridge
On 31 May 2017, he signed a two-year contract for National League side Dagenham & Redbridge on a free transfer, making him the first signing of their summer transfer window.[15] In May 2019, it was announced that he would be released following the expiration of his contract at the end of the 2018–19 campaign.[16]
Billericay Town
In June 2019, Nunn joined Billericay Town.[17]
Ware
On 15 July 2021 he signed for Southern Football League Division One Central newcomers Ware, having not played since before the COVID-19 pandemic.[18]
Personal life
Outside of football, Nunn has set up a property business called FN Property Group and also owns a male grooming company called Benny's of London which he started in 2015 with his partner Samantha.[12]
