Phil Brown's first permanent signing for the Tigers provided a mixture of the past and the future when Nathan agreed a two-and-half-year deal during the January 2007 Transfer Window. <\/P>

Signed for a nominal fee, Nathan is a product of Derby County's academy system and had progressed to the senior ranks during Phil's period in charge at Pride Park.<\/P>

Born in Derby, he made his senior debut at Preston North End at the age of 16 on 1 November 2003 and went on to make a total of ten appearances for the Rams.<\/P>

Following a 12-game loan at Notts County in 2005-06, Nathan had spent this season on loan at League One side Bradford City where he played alongside fellow Tiger Dean Windass.<\/P>

He made a total of 33 appearances for the West Yorkshire Bantams.<\/P>

As a mark of his undoubted potential, Nathan has represented England at all levels from Under-16 to Under-20.<\/P>

It's Nathan's potential and versatility that caught the eye of his former and now current boss, as Phil told : "He's a very intelligent, aggressive and combative midfield player who found himself more of a utility player in the Under 18's and Under 19's because he could play at right-back as well as in the centre or right side of midfield."<\/P>

"I like his attitude towards hard work, tackling and his commitment towards the defensive side of the game but he can also play a bit as well.<\/P>

"Signing Nathan is a long-term investment to enhance the current stock of the squad in this season's survival campaign but he is also one for the future."<\/P><\/A>","ytUJNEMdBMg=":"18381","yg2IOe564dk=":"180cm","dR1+ADNEm2lcpWFk6lG9Zg==":"2014-9-11","tfEdzGAemK0=":"1","3dOGRY9YVEBmgdG9fBLRAw==":"\u0e2d\u0e31\u0e07\u0e01\u0e24\u0e29","bNzYY2JnjaIKMs9OC2JuJg==":"","cfcBlRGoOcBcpWFk6lG9Zg==":"1","UqOPtrgVPYCJSJYJYNn\/ig==":"\u0e41\u0e1a\u0e23\u0e14\u0e1f\u0e2d\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e14,\u0e1a\u0e32\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e25\u0e35\u0e22\u0e4c,\u0e2e\u0e31\u0e25\u0e25\u0e4c \u0e0b\u0e34\u0e15\u0e35\u0e49,\u0e14\u0e32\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e1a\u0e35\u0e49 \u0e40\u0e04\u0e49\u0e32\u0e17\u0e4c\u0e15\u0e35\u0e49,\u0e19\u0e47\u0e2d\u0e15\u0e15\u0e4c\u0e2a\u0e40\u0e04\u0e32\u0e19\u0e4c\u0e15\u0e35\u0e49","JwXz1\/QWlIA=":"615","y\/UOKf\/Owk4=":"\u0e25\u0e39\u0e15\u0e31\u0e19 \u0e17\u0e32\u0e27\u0e19\u0e4c","00Uj1WK13eg=":"Nathan Doyle","3JBq0VG16oE=":"Nathan Doyle","YDUt6NuR7cBwXTR5mC4Jzw==":"\u0e41\u0e1a\u0e23\u0e14\u0e1f\u0e2d\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e14","CzguHM8WS93EfCvcDEww\/g==":"999","+dL4VHJBUUU=":"75kg","aifGNIETZe6hzUpKTatfcw==":"","vPqnPNTlh05cpWFk6lG9Zg==":"1987-1-12","e_index":9}; var playerStats={"e_index":9};
