My advice to any young player in non league don’t try and jump levels to quickly. Managers will promise you the world and may never deliver. Find a place where you can develop and grow your game then the Steps will come to you instead of you chasing them.

Invited a player down for start of pre season that originally messaged me first and now wants to message me asking to come down at end of pre season after he’s been to 5 clubs that managers have said no to him. Go where you are wanted instead of bouncing from club to club!

Young players please stop chasing money and establish your name first and minutes in non league first before money. Prove your worth and money will come.

Non league players need to realise it’s better to be playing a step or two below to ensure you are playing week in week out instead of trying to play a level you will be in and out or not completely ready to play that level yet. Having 40+ games appearances over the whole

Non league players play where you are valued and wanted this goes a long way to ensuring you play your best football week in week out.

One thing I’ve realised since I’ve became a non league manager you can’t beg or chase people to come play for you if you know them personally or not. Much prefer to work with players that want to be there week in week out training and games for the right reasons.

My one advice to players wanting to climb the levels is dominate at the level you are at first before thinking you can play higher. String together a level of performances week in week consistently before anything.

I have always said if a manager in non league doesn’t contact you first to come sign for him you will always be on the back foot in terms of pecking order. Unfortunately this is the reality. To all non league players go where you are wanted and valued.

To many players that think they can play levels higher but haven’t proved themselves at the level they are at first. The higher you go up the pyramid in non league football it’s not just about ability. It comes down to commitment levels, mentality , following instructions etc.

No one will understand how much a non league manager does day in day to make everything as good as it can be and a lot of them do it for free.

Players at non league worry about playing and performing at the level you are at first before thinking you can make the jump up the leagues.

This whole Zouma situation is mental. How can a man be fined more money than any racism case is beyond me and now Adidas have come out and said he won’t be a athlete for them anymore it’s crazy. Even though they kept Suarez as one. This world is so wrong it’s unbelievable.
