So here are 5 players they could look at based on YOUR suggestions
Remember to comment your team + 5 positions below 👇
GK: Jonathan Mitchell
Morecambe will need a new stopper, one with EFL experience and Mitchell has that in abundance. He didn’t have his strongest campaign, but I still believe there’s a keeper in there
A commanding keeper, Mitchell is still only 28 and is available on a free
CM: Craig Clay
I’m suggesting even more experience here, as League 2 title winner Clay is in need of a new home. He’s been based in the North West before, so the geography works
A battler in midfield, Clay brings valuable experience and grit to any midfield he’s in
CM: Dan Ward/Owen Bailey
Both Ward and Bailey turned down deals to stay at Gateshead, suggesting they have their eyes on a bigger move. And while NL clubs will be interested, I feel both capable of the step up
Either would represent good business on a free. Both have potential
Winger: Rob Apter
Young attacking midfielder Apter remains under contract at Blackpool after an impressive loan at Scunthorpe
A loan move and a subsequent step up in division would work for his development. The geography works here too. A player with match winning quality

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
