Nathan Brew (born 21 April 1982 in Cardiff, Wales) is a Welsh international rugby union player. Brew is capable of playing both in the centre and on the wing.
Brew was born in Cardiff, but moved back to his mother's home town of Brynamman when he was six, around the time his brother Aled was born. Brew was brought up as a Welsh-speaker.
Brew began his professional rugby career at Newport RFC, signing for the Black and Ambers when he was still only 19. He made his debut for the Rodney Parade club in a Celtic League match at home to Edinburgh on 1 September 2001. He had to wait nearly six months, however, to score his first try for the club, eventually crossing in a WRU Challenge Cup match against Bonymaen RFC. Brew was then not selected and did not play again for Newport for almost a year. He made his comeback appearance on 8 February 2003 against Bedwas RFC, again in the WRU Challenge Cup, and followed this up by scoring a try in a Welsh Premier Division match against Cardiff RFC on 25 April.
Before the start of the 2003–04 season, regional rugby was introduced to Wales, and Brew made the move to the Newport Gwent Dragons regional side. He was selected for the Dragons' first match in the revamped Celtic League, an away match against the Llanelli Scarlets. Brew made 25 appearances in all competitions in the 2003–04 season, scoring three tries along the way. However, these three tries did not come until the last three games of the season, which perhaps was a reflection on the brand of rugby the squad played. The 2004–05 season was slightly hit and miss, with Brew only making 17 appearances and scoring just two tries before an injury to his groin (which seemed to be pretty common amongst the Welsh squad during this period with such players as Shane Williams & Barry Davies having similar operations) in March which ruled him out for the rest of the season. Brew returned to the Dragons side just before Christmas 2005, and was in scintallating form; he scored four tries in the twelve appearances he made that season and earned himself a late call up to the Welsh squad for the Argentina tour .
