Nathan Stanton is an English professional footballer who currently plays for Rochdale. He signed on a free transfer from Scunthorpe United in the summer of 2006 on a year long contract.
A former Scunthorpe United trainee, Nathan made 243 appearances for the Iron (plus 21 as a sub) in 7 seasons. He scored 1 goal for the club. Since his debut in 1998 a series of consistent performances for Scunthorpe quickly established himself as a fan favourite. Injuries in his last couple of seasons limited his appearances for the club, and he was released on a free transfer in the summer of 2006. Rochdale quickly snapped him up, and the defender instantly established himself as part the first team, even becoming vice captain.
Stanton is described as a fast centre-back, who, despite not being the tallest, is strong in the air. He wears the number 18 shirt for Rochdale.
