AFC Fylde‘s Sam Finley and Aldershot’s Brian Galach have both completed moves to the Football League.
Finley has signed a two-year deal with newly promoted League One side Accrington Stanley. The 25-year-old was handed the captaincy at Fylde last season as the Coasters made it to the National League play-offs before losing out to Boreham Wood.
The attacking midfielder also has experience of playing in a continental tournament, having represented Welsh side TNS in the Europa League.
Speaking to the club’s official website, Stanley boss John Coleman said, “Sam is a good player, and had two particularly good games against Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup last season.
“He is a competitive midfielder who fits the mould here. He is hungry. He could have got more money playing in non-league but he wanted a crack at the league and he is backing himself to do that, I like that.
“He is the type of player we want. We can’t give him riches but we can give him the platform to go on and better himself.”
Meanwhile, Galach has moved to League Two side Crawley.
The Polish-born 17-year-old put in a number of impressive performances for Aldershot’s youth sides last season, finding the net over 40 times.
Crawley’s Director of Football Selim Gaygusuz said: “Brian is a player we looked at a lot last season. He’s still young of course, but we think he has a lot of potential.
“There is room in the squad for us to bring in a couple of younger players who have the potential to improve and force their way into the first-team picture and it’s a great opportunity for Brian, one which he is really keen to take.”
