Agents charged

The FA have issued charges in two agent-related matters for breaches of Agents Regulations.

1) George Urquhart has been charged in relation to Robbie Savage’s move to Derby County FC in January 2008. It is alleged that Urquhart acted for Derby County FC in that move when he had acted for Robbie Savage in the renegotiation of the player’s contract with Blackburn Rovers FC in January 2007, contrary to FA regulations.

In addition, both Urquhart and Savage have been charged in relation to the renegotiation of the player’s contract with Blackburn Rovers FC in January 2007. It is alleged that there was no written representation contract in place between the player and the agent when this renegotiation took place.

2) Des Wroe has also been charged in relation to Jack Rodwell’s first professional contract, signed with Everton FC in 2008. It is alleged that Wroe acted on behalf of Everton FC in the negotiation of that contract, when he had previously entered into a representation contract with Jack Rodwell in 2007.

The parties have 14 days to respond to the charges.
