About Ruby Nathan

Born 2005. Ruby Nathan is an association football player.

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

Club career Nathan started her footballing career at age 6, moving through the junior ranks of suburban Auckland club Eastern Suburbs, before moving to Auckland United. In 2021 and 2022, Nathan managed 13 goals for the club. 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.

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

International career Youth Internationals 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, 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. 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, 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.

Senior 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. Nathan made her debut in the second game, coming on as a second-half substitute.
