Nathan Kyle Garrow (born 29 November 2004) is a New Zealand semi-professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Auckland City.
Career
After brief stints at Bay Olympic and Auckland United, Garrow signed for Auckland City ahead of the 2024 New Zealand National League.[1]
In June 2025, Garrow was named in Auckland City's squad for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, the club's tenth appearance in the tournament.[2] After remaining an unused substitute in their opening match against Bayern Munich, in which Auckland's first-choice goalkeeper Conor Tracey conceded 10 goals in a record 10–0 defeat, Garrow was given a chance to start in the club's second match against Benfica.[1] In total, he made 10 saves and touched the ball 59 times, the most of any Auckland City player, holding out Benfica for 53 minutes before conceding a penalty from Ángel Di María in an eventual 6–0 loss.[3] His 10 saves was the joint-most by a goalkeeper in a single game in the tournament, along with Jo Hyeon-woo and Thibaut Courtois.[4] The Oceania Football Confederation website described these saves as "athletic and brave".[5]
In their last group match against Boca Juniors on 24 June, Garrow became the first goalkeeper in Club World Cup history to score an own goal when a header bounced off the post and hit him in the 26th minute, inadvertently giving Boca the lead.[1][6] He also made six saves to help Auckland to a 1–1 draw, their first non-defeated result since the 2014 edition as well as the most notable draw from a New Zealand team since the All Whites went unbeaten at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.[1] In the days after his performance against Boca, Garrow gained close to 70,000 new followers on Instagram, mainly from Brazilians, the main football rivals of Argentina.[1]
Personal life
Outside football, he studies civil engineering at the University of Auckland.[1]
