A combustor (10) includes a cap (16), a liner (20), a transition piece (24), and a combustion chamber (22) located downstream from the cap (16) and defined by the cap and liner. A secondary nozzle (40) circumferentially arranged around the liner (20) or transition piece (24) includes a center body, a fluid passage through the center body, a shroud circumferentially surrounding the center body, and an annular passage between the center body and the shroud. A method for supplying fuel to a combustor (10) includes flowing fuel through a primary nozzle radially disposed in a breech end of the combustor and flowing fuel through a secondary nozzle (40) circumferentially arranged around and passing through at least one of a liner (20) or a transition piece. The secondary nozzle (40) includes a center body, a fluid passage through the center body, a shroud circumferentially surrounding at least a portion of the center body (44), and an annular passage between the center body and the shroud.
