Nathan William Byrne (born 5 June 1992) is an English footballer who plays for Wigan Athletic. He can play as either a wing-back or a winger.
Byrne began his professional career with Tottenham but never made a first team appearance for the club before leaving to join League One Swindon Town in 2013. After two full seasons with the Robins, during which they reached the 2015 League One play-off Final, he was bought by Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers. However, he only remained with the club for a year before moving on to Wigan Athletic.
Byrne played for St Albans City as a youth player, before becoming a Tottenham Hotspur player, signing professional forms in June 2010.
In February 2011, he was loaned out to Brentford of League One. He made his senior debut on 26 February, replacing Myles Weston 77 minutes into a 1–0 home win over Bristol Rovers. He won his first start at Griffin Park on 8 March, playing in a 1–0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion. He was singled out for praise for his performance against Brighton by manager Nicky Forster.
On 28 July 2011, English League One club Bournemouth signed Byrne on loan until the end of the season. In a match against Exeter on 17 September 2011 Byrne suffered an ankle injury that would keep him out of action until the new year, he chose to remain at Bournemouth for treatment. On 22 February 2012, Byrne was recalled to Tottenham having made his return from injury in a Spurs XI friendly the day before.
