National League Transfer Round-Up – 19/07/25
As pre-season edges ever closer, I’m back with some transfer round-ups of all 24 National League clubs, giving you a view of all the ins and outs ahead of our new season, and who we may be coming up against!
Each week, we’ll be covering who has moved where for not only ourselves, but for our upcoming National League opponents, to keep you all in the loop ahead of the coming 2025/26 National League season! (source: Transfermarkt)
Glovers’ Corner
Before we dive into the National League ins and outs, let’s look at the former Glovers that have moved about in the last couple of weeks. We may miss a few, so if any of you see any we may have missed, tag us on Facebook or Twitter (or X), or leave a comment below and we’ll add them in the next week’s round-up!
Plenty of movement across the world for former Glovers this week, a lot of them coming after the last post! A couple of our NLS champions were on the move, as Rhys Murphy joined National League South new boys Horsham, following a season with Dorking Wanderers; Sonny Blu Lo-Everton joined up with the growing ex-Yeo contingent at Torquay United, he was joined recently by former Yeovil captain Matt Worthington, with his departure from Oldham Athletic being confirmed during the week. Two faces from last season have also moved around, as Ollie Wright and Sean McGurk have moved up north, joining Accrington Stanley and South Shields respectively. Another short-term addition to Mark Cooper’s squad, Otis Khan, has moved too, heading to Malaysia to join newly formed Kelantan Red Warrior.
Steven Caulker is on the move again, the 33 year old joined Stjarnan in Iceland recently, following a stint in Turkiye with Ankara Keçiörengücü (say that five times fast!). Callum Harriott has also moved, following his departure from Ebbsfleet United, as he joins Maidenhead United in the NLS. Finally, a former academy player has left the nest, as Jacob Shore joined one of our friendly opponents from pre-season, signing on at Exmouth Town. Bevis Mugabi has also made a move back to England, signing on at Carlisle United following his time at Motherwell.
