Club career

Born in Oliveira, Minas Gerais, Nathan joined Atlético Mineiro's youth setup in 2011, aged 13. After taking part of the 2017 Florida Cup with the main squad, he made his professional debut on 9 April 2017 by coming on as a first-half substitute for Jesiel in a 1–2 Campeonato Mineiro away loss against Caldense.[1]

On 20 February 2018, Nathan extended his contract until the end of 2021 and was loaned to Ponte Preta, initially until the end of the year.[2] He then became a regular starter for the side, and scored his first goal on 8 August by netting the opener in a 4–0 away routing of Paysandu.

On 26 June 2019, after falling down the pecking order, Nathan cut short his loan deal,[3] and joined Atlético Goianiense also in a temporary deal on 4 July.[4] On 15 January 2020, after helping Dragão to achieve promotion to the Série A, he signed for Coritiba, also newly promoted, on loan for one year.[5]

Personal life

Nathan's older brother Werley is also a footballer and a centre back. He too was groomed at Atlético.[2]
