Nate Weiss

Nathaniel "Nate" Weiss (born July 16, 1987 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American-Israeli professional soccer player, and currently plays for FSV Erlangen-Bruck in Germany. Weiss is the first American player to play in the LMT Virsliga, the Latvian premier league, and only the tenth American player to ever win a domestic cup in Europe.

Early life
A member of Weston Warriors youth soccer club, Weiss continued to play at Stoneman Douglas High School where he received All-State and All-Broward County honors. At 15 Weiss also spent time in England at the Stockport County academy.

Professional
During the 2007-8 season, Weiss played with the Spanish club UD Arenal in the Tercera. After spending the 2008 season with Longford Town in Ireland, Weiss joined the Swedish club Djurgårdens IF on trial. Weiss then left Sweden to join Serbian club FK Metalac Gornji Milanovac, but financial difficulties prevented him from a prolonged stay. On October 7, 2009, Weiss arrived at Hapoel Beersheba in Israel. During Weiss' time in Israel, he trained with Israeli coach George Borba and acquired Israeli citizenship by virtue of the Law of Return.

As the only offers Weiss received during his time there were from Liga Leumit clubs, he decided to take a contract offer in Latvia with FK Jelgava. Weiss made his league debut on April 18, 2010 in a league match against Skonto FC. While at FK Jelgava, Weiss played in 20 matches and scored a total of 4 goals, even though his position was defender. When the 2010 season ended in Latvia, Weiss chose to move on, in the hope of finding a higher profile European country and team, with the express hope of coming to the attention of the then U.S. men's soccer team coach, Bob Bradley. In 2011, after playing a friendly for IK Sirius against Leicester City FC, Weiss reported that several clubs had expressed interest in seeing him play; finally, he chose to trial for Örebro. Weiss has since left Sweden, and currently plays in the Fußball-Bayernliga with FSV Erlangen-Bruck.
