THE VANARAMA National League has caused uproar amongst players following a changing of rule to contracts belonging to players suffering from injuries.

A change in rule now means that an injured player will only receive their wages for 12 weeks, six weeks if it is a Vanarama National League North or South player, and that if a player remains injured after this period of time, the club can reduce their wages until they regain fitness again.

The club can opt against this if they choose to pay their player their full wages after the initial 12 or six week period.

York City currently play their football in the National League, meaning the club can reduce the pay of any players who are injured for longer than 12 weeks moving forward.

Boreham Wood forward Tyrone Marsh brought the rule change to light, taking to Twitter and saying: "This is an absolute shambles @TheVanaramaNL [The National League's Twitter handle], you need to look yourself in the mirror.

"We are humans, who have families to look after not a puppet to entertain.

"What are you possibly thinking? This isn’t ok and will never be ok. Something needs to be done asap…!"

Yeovil Town club captain Josh Staunton has quickly shown his support for Marsh and has rallied together the captains of 20 other clubs involved in the National League and the North and South division, however it is currently unknown whether York captain Lenell John-Lewis is involved.

Staunton said on Twitter: "We currently have 20 of the National League’s captains in contact with one another representing our team mates in hope of getting this matter resolved, allowing players to step foot onto the pitch next year without having to worry the risk of injury could financially cripple them."
