Nathan Hobday joined Liverpool FC Women in January 2024 as the first-team performance nutritionist while completing an MSc in sport nutrition with Liverpool John Moores University.

Originally trained in medical biochemistry, Nathan developed his skills as an A-Level chemistry teacher in schools across Bristol and London before moving into professional sport.

Nathan is currently conducting PhD research which aims to help explain the key influences underpinning the dietary behaviours of female football players.

Future research endeavours will seek to understand the effect of achieving acute carbohydrate fuelling guidelines around training and matchday.
