Nathan, who plays for St Vincents and also, formerly, the Donegal county team lives in the coastal suburban settlement of Portmarnock.
Born in 1989/90, Nathan is the youngest of three sons fathered by former Dublin midfielder Brian Mullins.
Nathan sustained numerous injuries early in his career, including hamstring issues and breaking both legs so did not make much progress with his club St Vincents until he was aged 26.
He made a substitute appearance in the last seconds of the 2013–14 All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship final and three years later, he was awarded the title of Dublin club footballer of the year.

Nathan scored a first-half goal on his debut for Donegal against Queen’s in the Dr McKenna Cup.
Nathan did not feature at all on the field of play during the 2018 Ulster Senior Football Championship, which Donegal won. However, he received a medal.
Sadly, shortly after Donegal’s season ended, Nathan sustained two broken ribs in a club game.
Nathan’s father, however, was not happy that his son chose to play for Donegal over Dublin.
On that, Nathan said;
“People thought I lived in Donegal a few years and that I was using the county for a chance to play county football, but that couldn’t be any further from the truth. Although the accent, and I’m living, working, playing down here [in Dublin], I’d be in Donegal as much as possible”.
