Club career

[edit]

Nathan was born in Rio de Janeiro, and began his career at Nova Iguaçu at the age of 15.[1] He made his first team debut on 18 January 2017, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 2–2 Campeonato Carioca away draw against Campos.

On 26 June 2017, Nathan moved on loan to Corinthians, being initially assigned to the under-20s.[2] He was bought outright in April 2019, and renewed his contract until 2023 on 29 July 2020.[3]

On 12 August 2020, Nathan joined Spanish Segunda División B side Racing de Ferrol on loan.[4] His loan was extended for a further year in July 2021,[5] but he was mainly used as a substitute.

On 15 July 2022, after returning from loan, Nathan signed for fellow Série A side Avaí until the end of the year, also in a temporary deal.[6] He made his debut in the category four days later, replacing Eduardo in a 1–0 away loss against Ceará.[7]
