We do sign players from non-league, just like every other club at our level. The problem is that although it looks from the outside like a bottomless resource of potential, for every David Wheeler, there's a Gareth Cheeseman. And just because a player is playing at a lower level, doesn't mean he's necessarily desperate to drop everything and move across the country to sign for us a bottom of the ladder wage. A lot of part-time players have a meaningful career alongside that they're not gonna throw in the bin for a 1 in 5 shot at making it at a tier 4 club.
