The 23-year-old no-nonsense defender returns to England after a stint abroad playing in Iceland’s second division where he was a solid part of Kórdrengir’s backline.

He made 31 league appearances in total for Kórdrengir and helped the club clinch a 5th place finish in the 2022 season, featuring in over 82% of the team’s league matches that campaign.

Nathan is very familiar with the local area, having resided in Redcar, and come through Middlesbrough’s youth academy system, playing prolifically for the Boro’s development teams

He played 22 games for Middlesbrough in the U18 Premier League and then graduated to the U21’s where he made a further 29 appearances in the Premier League 2 before signing for Gateshead ahead of his move to Iceland.

Now Nathan is back and ready to spearhead the Seasiders 2023/24 campaign in the Northern Premier League Premier Division.

Speaking about his first signing Marske United manager Graeme Lee said: "It's great to get Nathan signed up, someone I’ve work with at Middlesbrough FC.

"He's a very good player, who was a pleasure to coach, always wants to do things right. Was always consistent in his performances and looking forward to working with him again."

“I am really happy to be here” Nathan added.

“One of the main reasons I am joining the club is my history of working with Spike. I think he is a really good manager. We have a great relationship.

“I have been playing in Iceland the past couple of years and it is nice to relocate back home. I’m from Redcar myself and it is 5 minutes away for me so that’s a bonus.

“I know a few lads who have played for the team and I have been to watch Marske games myself.

“I know that we have really good fans here. I’ve seen how many supporters we can get which is good for the league and hopefully as a team we can make them happy and enjoy coming to the games”

Finally, everyone involved at the club would like to say welcome to Marske United Nathan! We are delighted to have you onboard.
