Career
Of Scottish descent,[2] Hindmarsh played for the junior club, Robertson near Moss Vale as part of Group 6 in the Country Rugby League.
Hindmarsh plays for the Parramatta Eels and is considered a leading player for the club given his experience at club and representative level. His brother Ian Hindmarsh used to play for the Eels in the same position as Nathan. He is the current co-holder (with Shaun Fensom) of the world record for the most tackles made in a single game: in Round 23 of the 2007 NRL season he made 75 tackles against the Melbourne Storm.[3] He is also believed to be the first player to make 10,000 tackles in the NRL.
At his peak (2004–2006) Hindmarsh was considered the best second-rower in the NRL by the Dally M judges. He was an automatic pick for NSW and Australia from 2004 to 2007 and was often picked alongside Craig Fitzgibbon. After a courageous performance in the 2009 NRL Grand Final, Nathan Hindmarsh earned a well-deserved Test recall after two years of being overlooked for representative honours.[4] He was appointed co-captain of the Parramatta Eels in 2010, with Nathan Hindmarsh, becoming sole captain for the 2011 season following Cayless's retirement.
Personal
Hindmarsh and his wife Bonnie Scott have three sons, Archie, Buster and Rowdie.[5] He is a keen indoor cricketer.
