In February 2011, he was loaned out to Brentford of League One.[3] He made his senior debut on 26 February, replacing Myles Weston 77 minutes into a 1–0 home win over Bristol Rovers.[4] He won his first start at Griffin Park on 8 March, playing in a 1–0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion.[5] He was singled out for praise for his performance against Brighton by manager Nicky Forster.[6]

On 28 July 2011, English League One club Bournemouth signed Byrne on loan until the end of the season.[7] In a match against Exeter on 17 September 2011 Byrne suffered an ankle injury that would keep him out of action until the new year, he chose to remain at Bournemouth for treatment.[8] On 22 February 2012, Byrne was recalled to Tottenham having made his return from injury in a Spurs XI friendly the day before.[9]

Byrne was signed by Crawley Town on loan on 24 September 2012 till 6 January 2013.[10] He made 14 starts and 1 substitute appearance, scoring once, his first ever league goal, at Carlisle United on 29 September 2012.[11]

On 28 March 2013, Byrne signed for Swindon Town on a loan deal that would see him at the County Ground for the rest of the 2012–13 season.[12]

Swindon Town

On 26 April 2013, Nathan agreed to sign for Swindon Town on a free transfer following a successful loan spell at the club from Tottenham Hotspur.[13] During the second leg of the League One playoffs against Brentford, he received a red card during extra time after Swindon equalised late in the first half to make the score 3–3.
