Nathan Tjoe-A-On (born 22 December 2001) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a left-back for EFL Championship club Swansea City.

Club career

Tjoe-A-On was signed to a three-year contract with Excelsior in 2019, after developing through their youth system. However, injuries stunted his development and he lost around 14 months of playing and training time.[1] After the 2021–22 winter break he returned to action and gained confidence in his ability and felt able to do himself justice on the football field again. Following their promotion from the Eerste Divisie at the end of the 2021–22 season he received a contract extension in June 2022, for an additional two years.[2] He made his Eredivisie debut for Excelsior on 12 August 2022 against SC Cambuur at Cambuur Stadion in a 2–0 victory.[3] On 9 September 2022, he scored his first professional league goal, helping Excelsior to a 2-1 win over FC Emmen.[4]

On 13 August 2023, Tjoe-A-On signed for Championship club Swansea City for an undisclosed fee on a three-year deal.[5]

Personal life

Born in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, Tjoe-A-On is of Surinamese and Indonesian descent.[6]

International career

In October 2023, reports in Indonesia suggested that Tjoe-A-On was invited to play internationally for the Indonesia national football team through naturalization.[7] On October 12, 2023, Nathan Tjoe-A-On watched and talked directly with PSSI Chairman Erick Thohir and Indonesian president Joko Widodo when the Indonesian national team hosted Brunei Darussalam in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium.[8]
