About Nathaniel Clyne

Nathaniel Edwin Clyne (born 5 April 1991) is an English professional footballer who plays as a right-back, right wing-back, or centre-back. A Crystal Palace academy graduate, Clyne made his senior debut in 2008, playing regularly in four Championship seasons, being named Football League Young Player of the Year in 2010 and the club's Player of the Season in 2011 and making 137 appearances. In 2012, he was signed by Premier League side Southampton where he spent three seasons, making over 100 appearances and scored five goals in all competitions. Clyne was signed by Liverpool in July 2015 for a fee of £12.5 million, starting as Liverpool lost the 2016 League Cup and Europa League finals. Initially an integral starter in the squad, he suffered persistent injury problems and lost his place to youngster Trent Alexander-Arnold before having a brief loan spell with Bournemouth. After making over 100 appearances for Liverpool, he rejoined boyhood club Crystal Palace in 2020, making a further 100 appearances, winning the FA Cup and Community Shield in 2025, and winning his final trophy with the club, the UEFA Conference League, in 2026. Formerly an international at under-19 and under-21 level, Clyne made his senior international debut for England in November 2014. He was selected for Euro 2016 and made a total of 14 appearances for his country. He made his Palace debut for the first-team in a 3–0 Championship win against Barnsley at Selhurst Park on 18 October 2008. In the 2010–11 season, Clyne was the youngest player in the Football League to play every single match of that campaign, and won Crystal Palace's Player of the Year award.
