Nathan said in an interview in 2022 that the highlight of his career was undoubtedly securing back to back championships with the NOB volleyball club at Victoria's Seaside Tournament in 2021 and 2022. The NOBs also prevailed in the 2024 tournament with an undefeated run. Now in semi-retirement, Nathan spends his time playing with South Adelaide Volleyball Club, and the NOBs. His jump having reduced significantly, he spends the majority of his time foam rolling to allow his body to function to a level where he can continue to play.
