lewis was a decent player and always gave 100% every time he played, unlike the most of the players weve had the last few seasons.Can't see DC given him the chance if won't even look at proven goalscorer like cureton!!!

He's not allowed to get paid to play, so it wouldn't matter how much they offered him, plus they've been after him before, and a couple of others, putting 7 days in, doesn't mean the player is off (although they move around like no-ones business down in that league!) Which is why Pick (the well known club killer) employed him, there are ways around it. I'd assume he'd be taken on as 'bar staff'. He's off. Staying with Yate then ;-)

I see Lewis is 1 step closer to playing at the mem again,just moved up to Southern League Premier club Paulton Rovers,now only 1 division away Padstow do you know what the rules are for players in Haldane's position? I know there was that incident with the Dagenham goalie a few years back who wasn't allowed to play for them in the league due to previously having retired through injury. But is that because the Football League is classified as a professional league rather than the Conference isn't so there are ways round it? What would be the issues for us and Lewis if (hypothetically) we did resign him? It all seems a bit dodgy to me.

Apparently he is not allowed to play above Conference South or North,due to insurance regulations,ie he wont be insurable above that level and think he might ev pay back what he recieved

The Welsh goal keeper who played for Dagenham & Redbridge, Roberts (can't remember his first name) played for them at Conference level after receiving an insurance payout whilst a League player. However, I'm pretty certain on their promotion to the Football League he paid that insurance money back so he could play with them in League 2.

I wonder what happened with the Dagenham goalie situation - maybe it was a one off scenario. All seems a bit arbitrary me for me. I mean just hypothetically, say they developed a new form of surgery that could fix an injury that had caused a player to retire (not that ridiculous a prospect given the amount of money that piles into sports injury research) I wonder what the situation would be then? I'm not getting at Lewis Haldane who is entitled to everything he's got but it seems an odd system where there is an incentive for a player to retire and then carry on playing at a level where he could theoretically (and often in reality) continue to get paid. The system seems a bit daft on the face of it. I've come across a couple of similar things to this in the cricket world as well where players retire from the 1st Class game through injury but then carry on getting paid to play for clubs on the weekend (where obviously the toil on the body is not rempotely in same league) - some seem to get in to trouble for this and some don't. What do pros/ex-pros think about how this works?

I think there was another player that we had, David Norton, who was in a similar position. He retired through injury at Hereford United, took the insurance payout and restarted his career in non-league with Cheltenham Town. They then reached the Football League and he couldn't play so eventually joined us instead.

Teams like Yate pay very little in the way of wages,players have full time jobs,as for what pros/ex pros think of it,they dont normally until its too late

A better long term option at a similar level might be 18/19-year-old Jamie Molyneux at Redditch Utd. He can play out wide or up front, has pace, an eye for goal and potential for development. One to keep an eye on for sure...

I wonder if a lot of them accidentally get into trouble. I know 2 examples from Cricket of people being sued by insurers on these grounds and at least i one case I know it was just down to complete ignorance rather than anything else. You'd think it was something the PFA would wanted clarified.
