10 National League Players Who Might Make Good League One Investments

Alex Lankshear (Boston United)

I named-dropped Hackett earlier, and he had to drop out of the Football League and into the National League to kickstart his game. A number of players have done that in the past, and over at Boston, I wonder if this young man might be one to keep an eye on.

He’s a full back, 6ft 1in tall, but for his age group, he’s right up there. He’s top five in the Under-23 category for interceptions and aerial duels,Β  and he came through the Arsenal academy before going to St Albans and then Blackpool.

He didn’t make it in the north west, but his early performances for Boston have suggested EFL ability.
