The 24-year-old currently plays for Scottish Premiership side Heart of Midlothian as a right-back. He has made a total of 56 appearances for the Hearts and has also recorded three goals and five assists. Moreover, he has made eight appearances for the Australian men's football team.

Taking a look at his love life, Nathaniel Atkinson is currently in a relationship with Isabella Arduca. The couple made their relationship public in 2021 when Atkinson posted a picture with Arduca on his Instagram account.

According to the Daily Mail, Arduca is 22 years old and owns a vodka drinks company called Fondi. She also has a degree in Marketing, which she completed at RMIT University.

Arduca often gets pictured supporting her boyfriend at his games. During the 2022 FIFA World Cup, she also went to Qatar to support the Socceroos' right-back.

Last year, the Australian football star uploaded many pictures from the couple's trip to Bali. Isabella Arduca travels a lot to Scotland, where her boyfriend plays and she has also shared pictures from the Edinburgh Castle and Nusr-Et steakhouse on her Instagram account.

Gareth Southgate looks forward to experimenting with the playing XI against Australia

England boss Gareth Southgate has stated that he is looking forward to giving young players a chance against Australia in Friday's friendly fixture at Wembley. The England manager told reporters on Friday (via Sportstar):

“We have good players, and we need to give people opportunities to show what they can do."

"Most importantly, we have got good players, and we need to have them in positions on the field where they can do their best work and feel comfortable, positions they play with their clubs so that the transfer is as smooth as possible.”

Southgate stated that the England football team has a prolific number of good players. However, he's looking forward to giving opportunities to a few new players. The likes of Jarrod Bowen, Levi Colwill, Eddie Nketiah, and more can get the chance to start for the Three Lions against the Socceroos.

The English FA boss also praised the Australian football team by stating that they are great sporting rivals. However, the Three Lions are currently aiming at a UEFA Euro qualifier fixture against Italy, which will take place on October 17 (Tuesday).
