Former Professional Rugby League Footballer, Radio & TV Host and Health Advocate
Australian former professional rugby league footballer who captained the Parramatta Eels in the NRL, Nathan Hindmarsh is also a NSW State of Origin and Australian international representative second-row forward.
Nathan played his entire career at the Eels, in 2010 breaking the record for most games with the club. In 2018, he was inducted into the Parramatta Eels hall of fame.
Noted for his tireless work-rate, faultless defence and powerful hit-ups, he is the only player to ever record a season average of more than 40 tackles and 100 running metres per game. Proving his status as a legend of the game Nathan has done this five times.
In 2011 became the first player in rugby league history to have tackled more than 10,000 times. Nathan has played 17 State of Origin matches for NSW, in eight series, and has represented Australia 20 times and captained his country once.
Off the field, Nathan is a tireless charity worker with a particular focus on children’s health. In 2009 he was awarded the Ken Stephens Medal in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the community and actions as a role model to young players and fans.
The affection that rugby league fans feel for ‘Hindy’ is evidenced by winning the Provan Summons Medal, for the NRL’s most popular player, a record four years in a row.
Nathan now works heavily in the community and is committed to helping young people achieve more in life.
