During the 2001 winter transfer period, he signed for Iraklis Thessaloniki, following the recommendations of then coach, Ioannis Kyrastas.

At the end of the season, Palamas won the league and thus got promoted to the Gamma Ethniki, for the first time in 17 years. On August 4, 2019, aged 44, it was announced that Nebegleras will continue his career with Iraklis Larissa in the Gamma Ethniki.
