Early years

In 2005 he moved to the youth department of SC Paderborn, where he was initially active as an outfield player until under-14 level. Initially with Paderborn, he moved up to the professional squad for the 2014–15 season, but remained inactive throughout the season.

Nübel then moved to Schalke 04, where he was utilised in the second team competing in the Regionalliga West. On 14 May 2016, he made his Bundesliga debut against TSG Hoffenheim when he replaced Ralf Fährmann after 90 minutes.
