Good morning TwoWrights – yes that is the rule. What concerns me is that Hull City declared it a ‘Free Transfer’ . There was no mention of the compensation that the EFL put in to stop clubs higher up poaching from those lower down.
Good afternoon, I’ve e seen a few articles stating he was a free agent, perhaps they’re mistaking his situation as I’m sure you’re due compensation. If he’s any good he’ll probably spend some time playing for Shelbourne in Ireland, not a bad experience for a young lad.
