Believe this is even 1 level below Conference. Michael Petrasso played Conference I think a few years back with Barnet on loan from York and was a stand out.

Onelessstar Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 This is sixth tier -- National League South. Promotion to National League (Wrexham, Notts County etc). It's a decent league with decent players, I'm sure, some with Premier League, Championship and even Bundesliga backgrounds. Above Conference and I'm quite sure above OSL and League 1.

Michael Petrasso played Conference I think a few years back with Barnet on loan from York and was a stand out. Essentially. The Conference League was renamed the National League last decade some time. That is the highest level of semi pro or "non-league" football in England. Though all but a handful of teams are usually fully professional. So he - Jackson - was playing one level below, in the 6th tier (National League South) hoping to get promoted to the 5th tier (National League) - which in can be promoted to the 4th tier - League Two. Crystal right? All moot for Jackson as they lost and that game was the Eliminator A. Had they won they would have played in the semi-final Sunday against the 2nd place team who got a bye. I only sort of know this because Oxford City (not to be confused with Oxford United) got the bye in other semi-final. I guess to give some anecdotal context on players. Oxford City has a pretty young keeper on loan from Nottingham Forest. He has like 1 or 2 caps for Bosnia-Herzegovina. In the end, the playoff final winner and outright season winner go up along with the same from the National League North ... to the National League who relegate 4 teams. Not the most confusing system but they do their best. Edited May 3, 2023 by WestHamCanadianinOxford narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a higher level than OSL I’d say - it probably features a lot of clubs you’ve heard of. 1 tier below Wrexham and a level higher than where Nathan Mavila played for reference.

I use to go to about 5 matches a season at this level before Bromley was promoted and it’s a good standard. This was about 10 years ago but I thought the good centre backs would have been very useful in MLS, so a much higher than OSL (assuming that is the league that the senior TFC academy use to play in).

InglewoodJack Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Ollie Bassett was bouncing around the Southern Football League, the 7th tier in the english pyramid and two years later, he wins the CPL MVP. He's certainly got better between then and now, and the CPL has upped their level as well, but I think you have to a bit lower than that to find a comparable english league to L1O.

nolando Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Good for him. He is one of the most endearing success stories of all time from our player pool. From the lower divisions he worked his way up, earning promotion to and then scoring in the Premier League, and then shifting back to his lower division roots, where he finished his career as a very respectable kind of football everyman. All the while accepting the calls to Canada whenever needed and always putting in an honest effort for his country. Congratulations on a brilliant career, Simeon!

Kent Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Does anybody know of any other player (doesn't have to be Canadian) to do this in the English system in consecutive seasons? 2008/2009 - scores in League Two 2009/2010 - scores in League One 2010/2011 - scores in Championship 2011/2012 - scores in Premier League Obviously lots of guys score in a lower division and then make the jump to a higher division. No doubt there are plenty who scored in League Two and then the following year in the Premier League. But it's just crazy to me how he did one step every year, through the 4 top English leagues. johnyb, InglewoodJack and narduch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Marc Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Would have been interesting had he chosen Bournemouth over Braunschweig. But I would have likely made the same choice he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
