Nathan Marlow Wigg (born 27 September 1974) is a Welsh former professional footballer. He began his professional career with Cardiff City, making more than fifty appearances in the Football League for the club, before playing for numerous non-league and Welsh Premier League clubs.
Born in Newport, Wigg began his career in the youth system of Cwmbrân Town before joining Cardiff City after impressing manager Eddie May.[1] He made his professional debut during a 2–2 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion in August 1993 as a substitute in place of Derek Brazil. He went on to make over 50 appearances in the Football League for Cardiff before being released in 1996.[2]
After a brief spell with Merthyr Tydfil,[3] Wigg joined Irish side Dundalk who were managed by Eddie May.[4] However, May left the club before the start of the 1997–98 season and was replaced by Jim McLaughlin.[5] After less than three months with Dundalk, he left the club in November 1997 after his contract was cancelled by mutual consent.[6] He instead returned to Wales and played the remainder of the season with Welsh Premier League side Ebbw Vale before joining Conference National club Forest Green Rovers in 1998.[7] He spent one season with Forest Green, making 41 appearances in all competitions and reaching the final of the FA Trophy.[1] [8]
After spending the 1999–2000 season at Gloucester City,[9] he returned to Cwmbrân Town in the Welsh Premier League where he spent three seasons before spells with Port Talbot Town and Llanelli.[10] In 2008, Wigg retired from football after suffering from persistent knee and calf injuries during his time with Risca United. Having undergone a leg scan, Wigg's knee was described as looking like it "could have been in a car crash". He stayed with Risca as assistant manager to Jeff Eckhardt.[1]
