Matthew Nash (born 3 April 1981 in Sydney) is an Australian football (soccer) goalkeeper who last played for Sydney FC in the A-League.
[edit] Club career
He previously played for Port Kembla in the Illawarra League, before moving to NSW Premier League side APIA Leichhardt in 2007. After winning the 2007 Johnny Warren Cup with Nash in goal,[1] APIA narrowly missed out on a finals place, finishing fifth.
After trialling with Sydney FC through the 2007 pre-season, Nash was offered a short-term contract for the start of the A-League 2007-08 season as cover for injured reserve keeper Ivan Necevski. On 9 September 2007 he made his A-League debut in place of Clint Bolton who was on international duty, becoming only the second goalkeeper to appear for Sydney in the A-League.[2] His strong performance impressed some commentators,[3] keeping a clean-sheet. His short-term contract finished on 10 October on Necevski's return from injury.
