Helpful Tips for Players

Player License

In order to register and play in the Gwent Central Football League, you must be licensed to the Gwent F.A. In order to obtain or renew a licence a player will need to supply 2 passport size photographs and 2 completed licence cards (supplied by the club you wish to register for).
Each Licence will cost £8.00 and last 5 years. The club you register with will retain one as a copy and the other is stored with the Gwent F.A., however the licence remains the property of the player.

Player Registrations

When a player’s licence is processed, a player will need to complete the relevant Gwent Central Registration Form. The cost of a Gwent Central Registration form will be as set out by the committee each season.

2008/09 season = £10.00.

The forms are then sent to the Gwent Central Assistant Secretary for processing.
A player is eligible to play in a match organised the League providing the appropriate G.C.F.A. players license is received and found to be in order by the Assistant Secretary 72 hours before a scheduled time of kick off of any match, in which a player shall be eligible to play in, providing he has not been registered with another club in the league.

Once a player is registered with Pontypool Town AFC he will be requested to pay a weekly subscription of £2.50 and pay any fines accumulated by either a booking or sending off (see club rules).

Player Transfer

If a player wishes to leave Pontypool Town AFC, the player will need to notify, request and complete a transfer form with Pontypool Town AFC firstly and then with the club to whom the player wishes to transfer to.
The cost of a transfer form will be set out by the Gwent County F.A. and a player can only transfer twice during a playing season., which will be paid by the transferring player and not Pontypool Town AFC.
