Nathan John Edward Woodthorpe (born 6 December 2001) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for Chester. He is the son of former footballer Colin Woodthorpe.

Career[edit]

A graduate of Crewe Alexandra's Academy, he signed a professional contract in 2020.[2]

In August 2021, Woodthorpe joined Witton Albion on an initial month-long loan,[3] which was extended for a second month.[4] He scored on his debut for the club in their 1-1 draw against Gainsborough Trinity.[5]

Upon returning to Crewe, he made his Crewe debut on 9 November 2021 in an EFL Trophy group game against Wolves Under-21s at Gresty Road,[6] but after his second appearance, against Doncaster Rovers on 1 December 2021 in the same competition, suffered an ankle injury.[7] Following relegation to League Two, Woodthorpe was released by Crewe at the end of the 2021–22 season.[8]

On 3 February 2023, Woodthorpe signed for Northern Premier League side Lancaster City.[9]

After joining Chester, he was loaned to Marine in July 2023 until January 2024.[10]
