Nathanael Anthony Ralph (born 14 February 1993) is an English footballer, who plays as a left wingback or center back for National League South club Chelmsford City.

Career

[edit]

Yeovil Town

[edit]

On 14 August 2012, Ralph made his Yeovil debut in the Football League Cup against Colchester United in a 3–0 victory.[4] He scored his first goal for the club in a 3–1 victory over Preston in a League One match, having come on as a substitute midway through the second half.[5] He made 17 appearances in the 2012–13 campaign, though did not feature in the play-off final victory over Brentford which took the "Glovers" into the Championship.

Ralph was released by Yeovil at the end of the 2014–15 season following their relegation to League Two.[6]

Newport County

[edit]

On 25 June 2015, Ralph signed for League Two club Newport County. His time at Newport was beset by injuries and although he made the substitutes bench on a number of occasions he did not make a competitive appearance. On 12 February 2016, he joined Aldershot Town on loan until the end of the 2015–16 season.[7] He was released by Newport on 10 May 2016 at the end of his contract.[8]

Woking

[edit]

On 3 August 2016, Ralph signed a one-year contract with Woking.[9] On 6 August 2016, Ralph made his Woking debut in a 3–1 home defeat against Lincoln City, playing the full 90 minutes.[10] Three days later, Ralph went onto score his first Woking goal in a 2–2 draw with Solihull Moors.[11] On 15 June 2017, Ralph signed a new one-year deal for the 2017–18 campaign.[12]

Dundee

[edit]

On 31 May 2018, Ralph signed a two-year deal with Scottish Premiership side Dundee.[13] He won the club's player of the year award for 2018/19, but they were relegated.[14] Ralph then exercised a clause in his contract that allowed him to become a free agent.[15]

Southend United

[edit]

Southend United signed Ralph to a two-year contract, with an option for a third year, in July 2019.[15] He scored his first goal for Southend when he scored in an EFL Trophy tie against AFC Wimbledon on 13 November 2019.[16] He dislocated his shoulder in December 2019.[17]

In December 2023, Ralph signed a contract extension with Southend until the summer of 2025, again with the possibility of a one-year extension having become club captain during his time there.[18]

In June 2025, Ralph triggered an automatic one-year extension keeping him at Southend until June 2026. In his final game of his 7-year spell with the Shrimpers, Ralph captained the club in the 2026 FA Trophy final where Southend defeated Wealdstone on penalties and left the club with silverware.[19]

Chelmsford City

[edit]

On 30 May 2026, National League South club Chelmsford City announced the signing of Ralph.[20]
