Nathan Paulse (born 7 April 1982 in Cape Town, Western Cape) is a South African Football Coach and retired[1] professional footballer who played as a striker for Ajax Cape Town and was capped at international level for South Africa.[2] As a professional footballer he played at the elite professional level in South Africa and Sweden from the age of 17 until 37.

Career
He left Ajax Cape Town[3] in the summer of 2008, signing a three-and-one-half-year contract with Swedish club Hammarby IF.[1]
He played his first game for Hammarby the same day that he signed for them, when Hammarby faced Malmö FF and won 4–2. He scored his first goal for the club in the Swedish Cup quarterfinal against Valsta Syrianska IK. Despite a successful first season, he failed to impress during the two following seasons and, when Hammarby was relegated at the end of the 2009 season, he moved on loan to his former team Ajax Cape Town FC from 1 January 2010 to 30 June 2010 with a buy-out clause. Following the 2016–17 season, Paulse retired from play.
