Ruby Sofia Nathan (born 11 October 2005) is a New Zealand footballer who currently plays for Canberra United and the New Zealand national team.

Club career

[edit]

Nathan started her footballing career at age 6,[2] moving through the junior ranks of suburban Auckland club Eastern Suburbs, before moving to Auckland United.[3] In 2021 and 2022, Nathan managed 13 goals for the club.[4] Nathan would sign her first ever professional contract in the A-League Women with Canberra United FC following her performances at the 2022 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup and 2022 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.[5]

In February 2024, Nathan was nominated for the 2023 New Zealand Women’s Domestic Player of the Year.[6]

International career

[edit]

Youth Internationals

[edit]

Nathan was selected to represent the New Zealand U17s at the 2022 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup alongside fellow Auckland United player Milly Clegg,[7] in addition to the 2022 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, both of which New Zealand were unsuccessful at, finishing last in their group in the respective tournaments.

In 2023, Nathan was selected as part of the New Zealand U-19s team to play in the 2023 OFC U-19 Women's Championship.[8] Despite not scoring in the opening round of the tournament, in which New Zealand beat Fiji and Papua New Guinea 3-0 & 11-0 respectively, Nathan would go on to win the Golden Boot with 8 goals at the tournament,[5] as she netted 5 goals in the 19–0 rout against Solomon Islands in the Quarter finals,[9] a single goal against Cook Islands, and a brace in the final against Fiji, which New Zealand would win 7–0, qualifying them for the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.[10]

Senior

[edit]

Nathan's performances for New Zealand in the youth internationals earned her to be called up to the New Zealand national team in 2023 for two friendlies against Colombia.[11] Nathan made her debut in the second game, coming on as a second-half substitute.[12]
