Nathan Drummond (born 19 January 1995) is an Australian rules football player. He plays for the Richmond Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Drummond, who played junior footy with the Murray Bushrangers, was drafted by Richmond using pick 52 in the 2014 AFL draft. He made his debut in Round 4, 2015 against the Melbourne Football Club, where he was stretchered from the ground during the second quarter after injuring his knee in a marking contest.[1] The subsequent diagnosis of a severe anterior cruciate ligament injury resulted in a season ending operation/rehabilitation.[2]
He is the great-grandson of Tom Drummond, who played in two premierships for Collingwood and captained the club, and the great-great grandson of William Cooper, an Australian Aboriginal political activist and community leader.[3]
