Lots of players from Oxford city in a similar boat where they have been offered pro contracts elsewhere but when it comes down to weighing it up they were better off staying at Oxford city part time. Being part time offers the player the opportunity to work/run a business alongside playing football. This not only can be more beneficial but the player has something to fall back on if their footballing career ends.
I believe Oxford city will be 1 of only 3 or 4 in the national League part time next season, but that doesn't mean they are nailed on for relegation, they have been defying all odds the past 3 seasons where they have finished 1st (COVID halted league at the time and voided the season) , 4th and then 3rd this season all with a budget matching the bottom half of NLS.
I've watched City a few times this season and Zac McEachran is the one that could comfortably be a league 2 player.
