Nathan Luke Brattan (born 8 March 1990) is an Australian professional football player who plays for A-League club Melbourne City.
Born in England, Brattan moved to Australia at a young age, playing youth football for Rochedale Rovers and Queensland Lions before making his professional debut for Brisbane Roar. He spent several seasons with the Roar before leaving the club in 2015.
Brattan appeared several times for the Australian under-20 side and has been called up to the squad of the Australian senior side.
Brattan was born in Hull, England but moved to Australia when he was six months old. His father Gary formerly played for Hull City, as well as Heidelberg United in the NSL.
Brattan made his senior debut as a 19-year-old in the Queensland Roar's "Against Racism" clash against Scottish football giants Celtic in 2009, displaying early potential. His debut A-League appearance was away to Perth Glory in December 2009. Often described as one of the best passers of the ball at the club, Brattan finally nailed down a regular spot in the Brisbane Roar starting side after two seasons hampered by injury. He scored the winning goal against Melbourne Victory on 22 March 2014 to award Brisbane the Premiers Plate. In the 2013-14 season Brattan capped a great year by being named in the 2013-14 PFA A-League Team of the Season.
Brattan was released by the club in the run up to the 2015-2016 A-League season following disputes over unpaid superannuation.
