Dartford boss Tony Burman has
welcomed interest from League 1 Hartlepool in midfielder Lee
Noble.
With losing talents such as Dave
Martin and Cody McDonald to league sides in recent seasons, Burman
has proved he is not a manager to stand in his players’ way.
"Players who get the chance at this
club are in the spotlight and a lot of scouts come to our games,"
said Burman (pictured right).
"There are a lot of good young
players in non-league football and people are starting to take a
chance on them – more should do the same.
"Lee was going to pop up for a few
days’ training (at Hartlepool) to let him have a look at league
level but he got injured and that’s been put back but there is no
rush.
"He’s not leaving to go to
Hartlepool and he’s on a contract with us next season. They’ve
asked if we will let him go up there for a couple of days and it
will happen later in the year.
"He’s only 21 and he has time to
progress, his heart is as big as a football."
McDonald moved to Norwich earlier
this season and scored on his debut. On Monday night he made his
first start, while Martin has earned
rave reviews at League 1
Millwall.
"Norwich know they’ve got a good
player on their hands and good luck to him," said Burman.
"Dave Martin is becoming a regular
and doing well and that’s great. It’s good for local football and
I’m proud of them both."
Burman has other talents at his
disposal, one of those being winger Ryan Hayes, who Burman feels is
another who could perform at league level, although no club has
made an approach.
Burman said: "He is erratic at
times and sometimes his play borders on the brilliance. I’m sure he
is someone people should look at."
