The Football League has called an EGM to vote on a 'Home Grown Players' rule.
The vote, on December 18th, will decided whether to implement a requirement for clubs to field a set number of home grown players, with a FL press release stating:
The new rule would require at least four players from clubs' sixteen man matchday squads to have been registered domestically, for a minimum of three seasons, prior to their 21st birthday.
The rule change, if implemented, would take place next season but would make little difference to the Bulls. Of the 16 players named last night by the Bulls, 14 would qualify under the ruling with only Moses Ashikodi - who spent time in Scotland - and Craig Samson not qualifying as 'home grown'. Even Toumani Diagouraga would qualify, having been with Watford since he was 18.
