On 26 June 2013, Nuha joined Segunda División B side UE Llagostera.[3] He was sparingly used during the campaign, but notably scored the winner in a 3–1 home defeat of Gimnàstic de Tarragona in the play-offs, which ensured his team's first-ever promotion to Segunda División.[4]
Nuha subsequently served loan stints at Tercera División sides UE Sant Andreu[5] and Elche CF Ilicitano,[6] scoring a career-best 21 goals for the latter. On 13 July 2016 he moved to another reserve team, CA Osasuna B in the third division.[7]

On 9 July 2019, Nuha agreed to a four-year deal with Racing de Santander, newly promoted to Segunda División.[11] On 9 January 2020 he was signed by Granada CF, which first sent him to the reserve team, Club Recreativo Granada.[12]
In 2022, Nuha signed with Bangladeshi outfit Bashundhara Kings. On 18 May, he helped the team winning their 2022 AFC Cup group stage opener with 1–0 margin against Maldivian side Maziya S&RC at the Salt Lake Stadium.
On 29 August 2022, Marong moved to India, signing with I-League side Rajasthan United on a season-long deal.[13][14]
