After last week’s announcement regarding changes to non-league player contracts signed after the 1st July 2023, we would like to clarify our position on the matter.

As a club, we would like to reaffirm our commitment to paying our players their full wage throughout their contract, regardless of any long-term injury or illness and we will continue to do so.

Yesterday, the club held a meeting with our first-team squad and players were made aware of ALL proposed changes to non-league contracts and our continued support to them, both on and off of the pitch. 

We understand the reasoning behind the changes to contracts, as some new clauses are mandatory in UK employment law. 

However, it is up to individual clubs to decide optional clauses to implement when they sign players next season.
