Wrexham captain Ben Tozer has condemned the Football Associations' new proposals for non-league contracts. Players in the National League and below are threatening strike action in protest of changes that will dramatically impact wages.
As of next season, clubs will only be forced to pay injured players in full for up to 12 weeks. After that, they can reduce wages to statutory sick pay - currently £99.35 a week - or release them from their contract altogether.
The argument is that changes will help make clubs in the lower leagues more financially sustainable. However, the plans have been met with fierce backlash - with players even threatening to down tools.
