Nathan John Elder (born 5 April 1985 in Hornchurch) is an English footballer who plays for Ebbsfleet United.
Career
During his early football career, Elder played for his home-town team of Hornchurch, and also played for Aveley, both of whom play in the Isthmian League.
Elder joined Brighton on 1 January 2007, after 'the Seagulls' paid his former club Billericay Town a small transfer fee, believed to be £10,000, after being impressed with his talent during a match for Isthmian League Billericay against non-league rivals Worthing.
At Brighton, Elder found first-team opportunites under Dean Wilkins very difficult. During his time there he only started three games, two in the league and one in the Football League Trophy, scoring just twice for the club in total. On 31 January 2008 Elder joined Brentford for £35,000.
He scored an own goal on his debut for Brentford against Mansfield Town after just 15 minutes, but scored the winner as Brentford eventually won 3–2.[1]
On 3 August 2009 he signed for Shrewsbury Town on a three year deal for an undisclosed fee. However Elder was then transfer listed on 9 November 2009, with manager Paul Simpson unhappy with a performance in the 1-0 FA Cup loss at home to non-league Staines Town.[2]
On 15 January 2010 Elder joined Blue Square Premier club AFC Wimbledon on loan until the end of the 2009-10 season.[3] The day after he signed, Elder scored his debut goal in AFC Wimbledon's 2-0 home win against Mansfield Town[4] and picked up the man of the match award. He made a total of 18 appearances for the Dons and scored 3 goals. Shortly before he was due to return to Shrewsbury, Elder picked up an injury in a game at Tamworth. It was later discovered that he had suffered a tear of his anterior cruciate ligament and would be out for at least 6 months.[5] It was announced on 24 June 2011 that he was to be released.
After being released by Shrewsbury, Elder was signed by Conference National side Hayes & Yeading United. On 30th September Elder signed on a month long loan deal with League Two side Hereford United before permanently signing on January 6, 2012. His first goal for the club was a glancing header in the 66th minute against Barnet, this would effectively be the winner as Hereford won the match 1-0.
On July 6, 2012 he was signed by Ebbsfleet United.
