Nathan, 24, started his career at Burnley as a youngster before joining FC United when they were in the National League North – he played against us for FC United in our 3-2 win there in August 2016.

He moved to Southport in September 2017, before going on loan to Spennymoor for four months in January 2018.

He stayed at Southport until October 2018, when he joined Shields. He helped them to the top of the Northern Premier League only for them to be denied promotion, and this season played a key role in helping them reach the first round of the Emirates FA Cup. Up to this season, he had made 67 appearances for them, scoring 15 times.

Nathan will be wearing number 45 during his time with us
