Nathaniel Clyne (born 5 April 1991) is an English footballer who plays for Crystal Palace as a defender. He attended Bishop Thomas Grant School located in Streatham.

Career

Clyne made his debut for Crystal Palace in a league fixture on 18 October 2008 against Barnsley.^[1] He signed a three-year contract with Palace on 20 October 2008,^[2] and Neil Warnock stated Clyne "has a bright future in the game".^[3] Clyne is known to be a very silent person and a man of few words on the training pitch. However Neil Warnock is sure he will develop into a well-rounded and commanding player.^[4] In February 2010 he was offered a move to Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers, but rejected it without even entering talks with manager Mick McCarthy.^[5]

In the 2010–11 season, Clyne became the youngest player in the football league to play every single game of that campaign, with his assured and mature performances at right back earning him Crystal Palace's Player of the Year award.
