Nathan Byrne

Hertfordshire-born Academy graduate can play in a variety of positions across the back four and in midfield.

After two consistent years as a scholar - making more starts than anyone else in our 2009-10 Premier Academy League campaign - Nathan made the step up to senior league football in 2010-11 during a loan spell at League One side Brentford.

He made 11 appearances at Griffin Park in total, and was involved as the club reached the final of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy at Wembley, where they were beaten by Carlisle.

Often skipper of our Spurs XI team, his performances earned a second successive League One loan in 2011-12 when he joined Bournemouth for the season. Unfortunately, after 13 appearances, he suffered an injury and eventually returned to Spurs.

Born in St Albans, Nathan previously played for St Albans City and attended Parmiters School in Garston where he played in a successful school side.

They were district champions five years in succession and national schools finalists twice.

Nathan has also been on standby for England's Victory Shield squad.
