Just randomly started thinking about ex-players and whether or not they're still playing. Obviously we've got Walker, Maguire, Ramsdale and Calvert-Lewin doing it in the PL, but what about other more obscure players?
Out of nothing more than curiosity. I found this lot out (2010 players onwards)...
Elliot Whitehouse - Spennymoor Town in National League North
Michael Doyle - appears to have retired at 40 after losing in the National League Play Offs last season with Notts County
Jamie Ward - left Buxton at the end of last season after winning the league. Now at Ilkeston in the Northern Premier League Premier Division
Joe Mattock - Harrogate Town in L2 following spells at Portsmouth, Brighton, Pigs and Rotherham
Matt Lowton - Recently loaned to Huddersfield from Burnley
Ryan Flynn - still playing in the Scottish Premier League (that speaks volumes for that league) for St. Mirren
Ched Evans - Preston. Doing OK too
Mark Howard - Wrexham. Will be seeing him again next week
Callum McFadzean - as above
Chris Porter - Oldham in National League
George Long - still, somehow, making a living in the Championship with Millwall
Michael O'Halloran - Scottish Premier League with St. Johnstone - god that league is shit
Jamie Murphy (33) - alongside O'Halloran at St. Johnstone
Joe Ironside - Cambridge in League One. Famously scored the winner at Newcastle in last seasons FA Cup.
Diego de Girolamo - National League North with Buxton. Massive statement made by Buxton to prise him away from Juventus
John Brayford - Burton Albion in League One - Club Captain
Jose Baxter - Last seen running from coppers in Concert Square, Liverpool
Stephen McGinn - the better looking brother. He got the looks, John got the talent. Still playing in Scottish Division 2 for Falkirk
Conor Coady - Trying to avoid embarrassment with Everton
Stefan Scougall - Scottish League One with Alloa. Still only 30
Kieron Freeman - Portsmouth in L1. Only featured in cup games this season
Otis Khan - Grimsby League 2
Louis Reed - Mansfield with Nigel Clough and a host of other ex-blades - Stephen Quinn, Kieran Wallace & John-Joe O'Toole
Connor Dimaio - I made the statement after his debut that he'd play for England. He was that good. He's ended up falling into Non-League with Chesterfield and now playing for Curzon Athletic in National League North... oh and he's Irish!
