Luton Town and Cheltenham Town scout non-league talent released by Portsmouth in 2021

Luton Town and Cheltenham Town have both scouted AFC Portchester forward Harrison Brook, a report from The News has said.

Non-league football has provided the Football League with some top talents in years gone by.

Many EFL clubs dip into non-league for recruitment to keep costs down and swoop in for some top players who maybe didn’t quite make the cut at EFL level before.

AFC Portchester man Brook fits in that category, previously being released by Portsmouth in 2021. However, the 19-year-old has since been a big hit in non-league football, finding success with AFC Portchester.

Now, as per The News, his performances have been attracting EFL interest.

Their report states that Championship side Luton Town and League One outfit Cheltenham Town have both scouted Brook ahead of the January transfer window. It remains to be seen whether or not they make a move for the former Pompey youngster, but they certainly seem to have him on their radars after nine goals in 15 games this season.

Making the step up…

AFC Portchester currently ply their trade in the Wessex League Premier Division, so a step up to the Football League would be a big one to make for Brook.

Luton Town and Cheltenham Town could have their eyes on a shrewd deal though. They’d be getting an in-form forward with plenty of time to develop on a low-cost deal, so it could be a move worth pursuing.

Plenty of players have shown before that they can come out the other side of adversity better off, and after his departure from Portsmouth last year, Brook looks to be showing he’s got what it takes to earn another shot at a higher level.
