Watford pay agents almost £600,000 in a year
Watford FC paid agents almost £600,000 in the calendar year ending September 30.
Between October 1 2008 and September 30 this year, the Hornets paid £573,913.16 for ‘agency activity’.
The sum included money paid by the club on ‘behalf of the players’, for example when the club pays an agent and the money is then deducted from their wages.
Some of the payments during the year also related to agreements made before that period, such as agent fees for players who left the previous year.
FA regulations state all clubs must reveal how much they paid agents during the above period on their website before the end of today.
