New Non League Goalmouth: Abdul Abdulmalik Transfer Saga, Danny Ormerod’s EFL Move + FA Trophy action

On this week’s edition of the Non-League Goalmouth, Editor at Large Matt Badcock and Executive Editor Jon Couch are joined by the Non-League Paper’s North-East correspondent, Mark Carruthers, to talk through all the latest in Non-League!

Abdulmalik transfer saga

The trio dive into the transfer saga surrounding Boreham Wood star forward Abdul Abdulmalik.

After having multiple bids rejected, Abdulmalik requested a move away from the club this week to pursue other opportunities. As a result, this prompted a response from chairman Danny Hunter on the matter.

Abdulmalik was left out of the squad for the recent clash with Forest Green Rovers and remains unavailable for selection.

Should Boreham Wood let Abdulmalik leave the club, or are they right to hold firm?

Ormerod secures EFL move

Elsewhere, AFC Fylde striker Danny Ormerod has completed a move to League One outfit Peterborough United.

After holding firm on the transfer fee, it’s reported that the 20-year-old has joined the Posh for £600,000, as he looks to follow in the footsteps of his father and former EFL striker, Brett Ormerod.

National League + cup action

Looking back to last weekend, in the battle between two of the National League’s unbeaten teams, it was Sutton United who overcame Hartlepool United with a 2-1 victory at the VBS Community Stadium.

With three wins from three for Chris Agutter’s side, they travel to face Gateshead looking to maintain their perfect record.

Meanwhile, Lee Clark’s Hartlepool will be aiming to bounce back from defeat when they take on Eastleigh at home.

Both fixtures form part of a bumper Friday night of National League action, with the Bank Holiday Monday programme following just three days later.

There’s also a reflection on the recent FA Cup action, with the preliminary round now complete and the first qualifying round draw made earlier this week.

Attention now turns to the FA Trophy, with its first qualifying round taking place this weekend.
