The 25-year-old is playing his first season of football since back-to-back ACL injuries over the past two years. 

Nurse's appearances this campaign have been limited with most bosses choosing to play him on the left side of a back three. 

But Michael Appleton gave the former Bristol City man the nod at left wing-back in the 3-1 defeat to Reading on Tuesday evening. 

Speaking after the match, the head coach revealed he wanted Nurse to get into more advanced areas of the pitch with the quality of delivery he has at his disposal.
