The combative midfielder joined Blues on loan from Spanish La Liga side Racing Santander on the final day of the January 2005 transfer window.
He went on to make ten appearances before the end of the season and impressed sufficiently to earn a permanent contract at St. Andrew's in the summer of 2005, signing a three-year contract.
Unfortunately Nafti snapped his cruciate ligament during a pre-season game against Deportivo and was forced to sit out much of the 2005/06 season.
He returned to action in 06/07 and played his part in the promotion-winning campaign, making 32 league appearances.
The Tunisian international is the proud owner of an African Nations Cup winners' medal after his country's 2-1 success over Morocco in the 2004 final and travelled with the squad to Germany for the World Cup finals in the summer of 2006.
