Nathan John Elder (born 5 April 1985, in Hornchurch) is a professional footballer, currently playing for Brentford in League Two.
[edit] Career
During his early football career, Elder played for his home-town team of Hornchurch, and also played for Aveley, both of whom play in the Isthmian League.
Elder joined Brighton on 1 January 2007, after 'the Seagulls' paid his former club Billericay Town a small transfer fee, believed to be £10,000, after being impressed with his talent during a match for Isthmian League Billericay against non-league rivals Worthing.
Elder joined Brentford on the 31 January 2008 for £35,000 from Brighton after finding first-team opportunites under Dean Wilkins very difficult. During his time at Brighton, Nathan only started three games, two in the league and one in the Football League Trophy), only scoring twice for the club.
He scored an own goal on his debut for Brentford against Mansfield Town after just 15 minutes, but scored the winner as Brentford eventually won 3–2.[1]
