"I moved 2000 miles for a job!" - Nathan Kirby (Besiktas) - 1st Team Analyst - #4

In this video I sit down with Nathan Kirby of Besiktas who has a very interesting tale to tell about moving from Barnsley to Istanbul for a job. Nathan speaks about how he found his way into analysis, how he took on his first big opportunity and how the relationship with a specific manager has ended up opening even more doors for him. Nathan was in England for his pre-season break when we recorded this but he will be soon back to Turkey to help Besiktas push for the title, and with that, European football. Thanks again to Nathan for taking the time!
