Club career

Pas Tehran

Nosrati started his career at Aboomoslem, he left the club to join PAS in 2001. He was one of many valuable players of Pas Tehran, finishing the 2003–04 season as Iran Pro League champions. There had been some notable interest shown in him from outside Iran—most notably he was officially linked to 2003 Croatian champions, Dinamo Zagreb, but rejected the offer citing that he wanted to play in a better European league. He dispelled speculation of which European team he would sign with when he signed a three-year extension with Pas in 2005. He also played in AFC Champions League for Pas. After Pas Tehran was disqualified, Nosrati left the club and did not join the newly formed Pas Hamedan.

Persepolis

On February 9, 2007 it was said Nosrati signed with Belgian League outfit R.E. Mouscron on a 5-month contract after a successful trial and passing medical tests, however the deal was not completed as terms and conditions could not be agreed on. He moved to Persepolis in August 2007 and won the league in his first and only season.

Al-Nasr and Tractor

He played in most of the matches for Al-Nasr but it was reported that he was unhappy in the United Arab Emirates and wanted to move back to Persepolis. He finally joined newly promoted Iran Pro League club Tractor Sazi. Nosrati moved back to his old club in the UAE Al-Nasr in late January 2010. He moved back to Tractor Sazi in summer of 2010 and stayed there for a season.

Persepolis

He signed a contract with Persepolis on 27 June 2011. He was indefinitely suspended by the Iranian football federation for "immoral acts" after he squeezed his teammate Sheis Rezaei's buttocks during a goal celebration.^[1] His suspension was come to end on 26 December 2011. After his suspension he became the regular player for the team again but was named in transfer list after the end of the season and was transfer to his former club Tractor Sazi.
