TNS defender Zach Nolan is said to be attracting transfer interest from a number of League One, League Two and Scottish Premiership clubs.
The 21-year-old has only been at Park Hall since the summer but has already caught the eye with his performances for the Welsh champions.
According to Football Insider’s Pete O’Rourke, the left-back is attracting interest from clubs across England and Scotland as he continues his development with TNS.
Nolan joined the Saints after leaving NIFL Premiership side Ballymena United in February.
Zach Nolan has made nine Cymru Premier appearances
Nolan has made nine Cymru Premier appearances to date, with four of those coming as starts and the remainder as substitute appearances.
He also has European experience under his belt after featuring in Champions League and Conference League qualifying for TNS.
The defender played against Sabah in Champions League qualifying before featuring against FC Flora in the Conference League.
Nolan was also involved in TNS’ recent 9-0 victory over Cambrian United, coming off the bench to provide an assist.
His performances have now reportedly alerted clubs in the English and Scottish football pyramid, with League One and League Two sides in England and clubs in the Scottish Premiership understood to be keeping tabs on his progress.
TNS youngster praised the faith shown in him
Nolan previously spoke about his first few months at Park Hall and praised head coach Craig Harrison for allowing him to play his natural game.
“It’s brilliant to be honest,” he said to the Shropshire Star.
“He’s shown he has faith and he’s letting me play my game with the runs up and down, so I’m really happy to be here and it’s a great experience to play and to grow as a player,” Nolan said.
The 21-year-old has also benefited from working alongside experienced TNS captain Danny Redmond.
Redmond has played extensively at left-back for the Saints over the years, and Nolan says he is learning from the veteran defender both in training and by watching him.

Nolan added: “What a player, honestly. He teaches me little things in training, and even watching him, you learn little things, so hopefully I can build on that and build my game and see where it goes from there.”
The defender’s previous experience also includes a spell with Bray Wanderers in the First Division of the Republic of Ireland.
