🆕🧵With deadline day fast approaching I decided to do a thread of 10 #NationalLeague players I feel could make a late move to the #EFL
Let me know if you want any more transfer content before deadline day below - and if so what? 👇
10. Kyran Lofthouse
He’s only so low down the list because Woking are flying. Strong, quick and direct, Lofthouse is a superb right sided midfielder
He ranks 4th for dribbles per 90, and is also capable of playing RB. Seems to have lost his place of late, leaving the door open
9. Tyler Cordner
The first of a few CBs on this list. At 24 Cordner still has plenty of upside, but is already a very mature defender
Comfortable with the ball at his feet and bringing play out from the back, Cordner plays on the left of the CB pairing
8. Bobby-Joe Taylor
One of the best attacking wing backs I’ve seen at this level, if an EFL side are looking for a LWB they could do worse than Taylor
A wicked set piece delivery and an eye for goal, Taylor would relish the step up from part time football. Good age at 27 too.
7. Josh Walker
Blistering pace in a front man is always a desirable trait, and Walker has that in abundance. He also has finishing ability, and with 10 goals this season he’s in good form
Dagenham may be reluctant to let go, but he would be an excellent option
6. Dan Gyollai
I wanted to include a keeper in this list, and one I feel is under appreciated is Maidenhead’s Gyollai
He certainly has the build you’d want for a keeper. He’s tall, commanding, and is a decent distributor too. May be affordable due to part time status
5. Toby Mullarkey
One of the finest defenders at this level, Mullarkey signed a new deal in the summer, but that hasn’t prevented him from being linked with EFL clubs
Alty showed with Colclough that they are willing to sell, and Mullarkey would definitely be worth the money
4. Nicke Kabamba
The big forward has been linked to #Spireites in recent weeks, and a hat trick against them at the weekend only increased his price tag
I feel he is good enough for the EFL though. 16 goals so far this season, and at 6ft3 he’s a real handful
3. Shaun Hobson
It’s well documented that Southend are struggling financially, so a cut price move for one of the division’s best defenders could be great business
He’s been linked with Orient in recent weeks, and it’s easy to see why. Athletic and a brilliant allround defender
2. Kian Spence
Halifax may be struggling, but Spence’s class remains evident. A wonderful footballer, Spence is about as well rounded a midfielder gets at this level
He’s also only just turned 22, so would be an investment for the future too
1. Andy Dallas
Out of contract at the end of the season, Solihull could be forced to cash in if a move materialises before Deadline Day
Dallas is a complete forward, providing as much as he does score. 11 goals and 8 assists for a mid table side. It’s a no brainer

Luke Williams’ latest recruit is attacking midfielder Crowley
He’s especially interesting as he’s spent much of his career in the Netherlands
Here is a thread on the new man, and what we can expect from him 👇
The Key Stats
Age: 25
Height: 5ft9
Last Club: Morecambe
Position: AM (as shown in graphic)
22/23 (League One):
Games: 21
Goals: 2
Assists: 5
1.25 Chances Created per 90
671 passes completed (87% accuracy)
8 tackles won (73% accuracy)
The first thing that catches the eye about Crowley is the speed and quickness of his movement. In particular, how quickly he’s able to manipulate the ball by shifting his feet
Here he completely takes the defender out of the game, opening the space for a perfectly weighted pass
🧵🏴 England play against North Macedonia tonight. England aren’t adverse to former Non-League players, with Mings in the current squad potentially playing tonight
So here is an XI of players in Non-League who I feel could one day pull on the famous 3 Lions Shirt 👇
Owen Foster
Scunthorpe’s 18 year old keeper Foster had a brilliant stint when called upon last season, so much so that he is now going on trial at several Championship clubs
A brilliant shot stopper, Foster has massive potential. Needs the right development
Kellen Fisher
Okay, so Fisher isn’t technically a NL player anymore BUT he only just moved to Norwich, so I’m counting him here
That move says it all for him really - he has genuine potential to be a top right back. He’s already mature beyond his years at 18
Promoted side Sheffield Wednesday were requested yday afternoon. So here are 5 players they could look at based on YOUR suggestions
Remember to comment your team + 5 positions below 👇
GK: Josh Vickers
Wednesday rotated their keepers last season, so you’d expect them to need to add another safe pair of hands
Vickers is exactly that. He’s based fairly locally, so geography works, and he’s shown over a number of years he’s a very capable keeper
CB: Lloyd Jones
A defender I’d like to see make the step up with Wednesday is Jones. He’s been brilliant for Cambridge for a number of years, and is now available on a free
A strong defender, one in his prime at 27, Jones is capable on the ball & would be a cost effective move
