At the same time he extended his contract with Malmö FF until the end of the 2015 season.[8] Nazari played 23 matches and scored four goals for Assyriska during his loan spell at the club. After having made sporadic appearances for Malmö FF during the 2014 season Nazari went on loan to Norwegian side Fredrikstad for the duration of the 2015 season.[9]
