FOOTBALL agents are making very little money out of Aldershot Town. The club spent not much more than £100 on agents’ fees over the last two transfer windows – the lowest amount in English football.

The FA has released figures for how much non-league clubs paid to agents between February 1, 2017 and January 31, 2018. A change in Fifa regulations in 2015 requires the FA to publish the amount every club in English football paid to intermediaries.

Over the January and summer transfer windows, Aldershot paid agents the modest sum of £112.

Leyton Orient, who were relegated out of the Football League last season, spent the most on agents’ fees. The club shelled out £39,537, some 350 times more than Aldershot paid.

Aldershot spent more on agents for this season than the previous one, when they paid £56.

Dan Chapman, vice-chairman of Society of Football Intermediaries and Agents, said: “In the National League, we saw total agency fee spend of £188,000 which was actually a reduction from the £271,000 of the previous year.”

He explained that this figure was slightly misleading as most of the 2016-17 figure was spent by one club, Forest Green Rovers, who paid £174,613.

Forest Green won promotion to the Football League that year.

“Excluding the Forest Green spend, there is an increase in the National League spend which we would suggest demonstrates that this league is growing from strength to strength,” Mr Chapman continued.

“It is becoming a genuine fifth tier, containing many full-time and highly professional clubs and talented players.

“It is to be expected that those players will increasingly be represented by and clubs will engage with agents.”
