Player Insurance

We as an association believe it is vital that all players should be covered when it comes to injury and the cost of relevant treatment.

Therefore we have scoped the insurance market and secured a policy that protect players when it comes to both short term and long term injuries.

Surgeries and MRI costs are high and can sometimes be difficult for a club or player to afford.

The policy offer affordable monthly rates for injury protection and help give clubs and players peace of mind

Professional and Amateur Injury Policy; For all players on Pro or Amateur contracts playing full time or part time for surgeries, scans, injections and physio up to £9k and includes £100 per week salary contribution when unable to work.

***Players and clubs should be aware that the cost of scans and surgery are deemed by the medical providers as “self funded” This means that if the insurer deems the injury as not something they can cover, then the cost of any medical procedures must be covered by the player or their club. The insurance covers injuries caused by an event, (sudden, unforeseen and identifiable occurences) “Wear and tear” injuries are not likely to be covered.
As with all insurance policies it is not guaranteed that the policy will pay out and we recommend contacting the insurer or the PFA in the first instance to gain an understanding on whether the injury is typically covered.***
