Those familiar with football below the EFL will know the divisions are not simply made up of semi-professionals. There are players with professional experience across the board and spotting them on teamsheets often proves to be part of the fun.
Many professionals drop down the leagues as their career is winding down, although some make the move into non-league football before or in the middle of their peak years.
It is often fascinating to watch these players perform in front of smaller crowds, regularly letting their experience shine through in a less glamorous environment.
The Yorkshire Post have assembled a gallery of non-league players you may recognise from their EFL days. Browse through and see how many you recognise, or have previously seen lace up their boots in England’s professional divisions.
