Following my #EFL thread yday, here are 10 #NationalLeague players who need a move to revitalise their career
These are mainly players who 12 months ago had a very high stock, and who I believe are capable of hitting those levels again 🧵👇
Cal Roberts
This one is the epitome of what this thread is all about. I have no doubt Cal Roberts is still a top, top player; he just needs the move to show it
He’s had an unlucky time in Scotland, & 12 months ago he was one of the best in the NL. A technically gifted attacker
Alex Lacey
12 months ago Lacey was seen as a top end NL defender, so much so that he got himself a move to the EFL despite missing out on promotion with Notts
It’s been a really poor 12 months for him, but a fresh move may unlock that defender once more
Kyran Lofthouse
This one may seem bizarre considering he’s a highly rated, highly coveted free agents around. But 12 months ago Lofthouse was REALLY highly rated, and he hasn’t kicked on as much
Still, he’s now available and I feel he should take the chance to move
Joe Sbarra
Another entry here where he’s had a decent season. But 12 months ago Sbarra was THE guy. Young Player of the Season, chased by EFL clubs, only to extend at Solihull
I feel his time with Moors is up now. He’s served them well, but he deserves a move imo
Shaun MacDonald
This one is actually pretty sad. MacDonald was one of the big losses from the Torquay side that was finally dismantled last summer
Yet he wasn’t even given a chance at Cheltenham. Hes still got EFL ability, but maybe a move back to NL will help revitalise career
Billy Waters
He’s now technically an EFL player again, but Waters must feel the 12 months after his best ever season haven’t gone amazingly
Sure, he’s probably on better money now. But he barely played as he won promotion back to where he left for last summer.
Joe Lewis
Another member of the dismantled Torquay side, Lewis was possibly the one that was tipped to go on and do the best
He struggled to settle at Stockport, and has now totally fallen out of favour. There’s no doubt that he’s still got a bright future; needs a fresh start
Sol Nwabuokei
When Woking announced they had re signed Sol, their fans were overjoyed. And despite it starting okay, by the end of the loan spell they were glad to get rid
It’s a shame, especially considering his stock 12 months ago. He’s now on a free so a good time for a move
Jordan Davies
Davies went from being one of the key players in a side that almost got promoted, to a bit part player in a side that did get promoted
I know it’s his hometown club, but surely he needs a move for more game time. At his best he’s a magnificent player; maybe a loan
Dan Mooney
When Southend signed Mooney, it was lauded by many, including myself, as a brilliant signing. But it turns out signing players that don’t fit the system doesn’t tend to work
He’s still shown glimpses of his undeniable talent. He needs to play in a system with wingers
