Phil Brown's first permanent signing for the Tigers provided a mixture of the past and the future when Nathan agreed a two-and-half-year deal during the January 2007 Transfer Window. <\/P>

Signed for a nominal fee, Nathan is a product of Derby County's academy system and had progressed to the senior ranks during Phil's period in charge at Pride Park.<\/P>

Born in Derby, he made his senior debut at Preston North End at the age of 16 on 1 November 2003 and went on to make a total of ten appearances for the Rams.<\/P>

Following a 12-game loan at Notts County in 2005-06, Nathan had spent this season on loan at League One side Bradford City where he played alongside fellow Tiger Dean Windass.<\/P>

He made a total of 33 appearances for the West Yorkshire Bantams.<\/P>

As a mark of his undoubted potential, Nathan has represented England at all levels from Under-16 to Under-20.<\/P>

It's Nathan's potential and versatility that caught the eye of his former and now current boss, as Phil told : "He's a very intelligent, aggressive and combative midfield player who found himself more of a utility player in the Under 18's and Under 19's because he could play at right-back as well as in the centre or right side of midfield."<\/P>

"I like his attitude towards hard work, tackling and his commitment towards the defensive side of the game but he can also play a bit as well.<\/P>

"Signing Nathan is a long-term investment to enhance the current stock of the squad in this season's survival campaign but he is also one for the future."<\/P><\/A>","249186B187931B83":"75kg","0FA2227E78AF1E09":"Nathan Doyle","2A56C1DBE121525F":"Luton Town","B13BBD17F9E21D375893DBD6F2FC7F72":"1","07457F0B881B82B22AE30767A70DD3E1":"","A16C626949206183":"18381","3653565C44D0522B57B14E876735C3FA":"Bradford AFC,Barnsley,Hull City,Derby County,Notts County","50F712C5D7EA2EE5C48850A5D641D459":"Bradford AFC","F8A44A36F46FF4E4":"Nathan Doyle","5B991257A722E1E0F74ECF7A8C1C2945":"","07FC4394D7BF000AA5BFC85E2D0D6D63":"England","32F0494A6A8D9C00F8184D20C089D458":"1987-1-12","72FFC7073AEDD99FBC6698239F961CC0":"2014-9-11","e_index":0};
