Lad at AFC Sudbury went to Aldershot in the Summer and is tearing it up & being linked all around the EFL.
Another lad went from Hitchin Town to Brentford B.
All sorts of reasons why we might not have been in for them, but that’s another two lads from clubs within an hour of us passing us by.
Hopefully we can at least cast an eye into a fruitful recruitment avenue in January.

Two of our best ever players made that exact route to us. ❤️
I think we tend to sign young youngsters from that level in fairness (Jobe and Bennett) but it is a market I'd like to see us exploit more often for the first team...
...that said, we've got several of our own youngsters at local non-league level so I'm not too concerned.

We should definitely be trawling the local non-leagues and casting our net wide enough to make sure we get a good catch from our local pool of talent. Not sure that will help us much in January mind…

Andrew I know we have done it with success ; my point is considering our budgetary restraints we don’t do it consistently. But it’s a minor complaint, just relevant a bit to this thread. Hopefully I’m a shoe in for “most boring banging of the same non-league / youth drums” in the 2023 forum awards.
