Erin Nicole Nayler (born 17 April 1992) is a New Zealand association football goalkeeper, playing for Reading of the English FA Women's Super League. She has represented New Zealand at international level.[4]

Early life

Nayler started playing as a goalkeeper at the age of 10.[5] Playing for Westlake Girls High School with her father Mark as coach, Nayler won many Secondary School tournaments before graduating in 2009.[6] Afterwards she went to Indiana University – Purdue University Fort Wayne in 2010,[7] spending one year playing for the IPFW Mastodons and studying biology.[8] She is currently studying Molecular Biology at Massey University.[5]

Career

Nayler was a member of the New Zealand U-20 side at the 2010 and 2012 Women's World Championships, playing in all three of New Zealand's group games at both events.[9][10] The performances earned her a spot at the senior New Zealand team, the "Football Ferns", for the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup.[11] Nayler was the only uncapped member of New Zealand's squad and did not feature in the tournament.[12] She was also a standby player for the 2012 Olympics.[13]

With Bordeaux in 2018.

Nayler's eventual senior début happened at the 2013 Cyprus Cup, in a 2–0 win over Italy.[14]

She played all three matches of New Zealand at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada.[15] Nayler was chosen as Player of the Match during her second game, as she kept a clean sheet in a 0–0 tie with the hosts in Edmonton.[16]

In 2015, Nayler was captain of Northern Football as they won the National Women's League, the top-flight women's football tournament of New Zealand.[17] She also played for Norwest United of the Northern League.[12] In 2016, Northern Football manager Paul Greig had become assistant coach of Sky Blue FC, in the United States' National Women's Soccer League, and led his new team to sign Nayler.[18] However, she was released by Sky Blue after 26 days and no games played, and Sky Blue signed another goalkeeper instead.[19][20]

Nayler then hoped to use the 2016 Olympics, where she was again the Ferns' starting goalie, to see if she attracted the attention of any foreign clubs.[21] In the Olympics, Nayler had a clean sheet in New Zealand's second game, a defeat of Colombia by 1–0, but the Ferns fell in the group stage following defeats to the United States and France.[22]

Shortly after the Games, Nayler signed a two-year contract with Olympique Lyonnais of France.[23] In 2017 she was loaned to women's team of Grenoble Foot 38, who played the Division 2, after seeing no playing time as the third goalkeeper.[24][25] For the 2017–18 season, Nayler signed with the female squad of FC Girondins de Bordeaux, who played in the Division 1.[26] At the end of her first season, where Bordeaux finished seventh, Nayler renewed her contract for an additional two years.[27]

In April 2019, Nayler was named to the final 23-player squad for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup.[28]

In August 2020, Nayler announced she had signed for FA Women's Super League club Reading.
