Players can request a transfer directly from their home page on GMS. To start the transfer process the player should go to ‘My Clubs’ and press ‘Request To Join New Club’.

The player is given the option to select their ‘new’ club and provide a reason for their decision to move – at which point the following process occurs:

• Player has initiated transfer via GMS, as above (if not already processed, a player can also remove/delete their transfer request)
• Current club and new club both receive notification of transfer request on GMS home page
• Where both clubs authorise the transfer, the move is confirmed, and the player will be available for the new club
• If the new club declines the transfer, the player will need to liaise with the club directly to understand the reasons for that
• If the player challenges a disputed transfer, Competition Managers will receive notification and will be expected to explore a resolution by contacting relevant parties and following usual processes.
