Wondering if anyone knows the legality of playing for 2 different clubs in different associations?
In the local regulations, Law C14 says:
"A Registered Player may be registered with one (1) Member Club ONLY". The wording "Member Club" to me implies a member of the Newcastle/Lake Mac/Hunter associations, but I suppose this could be a member of Football Australia.
Law C14 also references
the Football Australia Regulations (Law 5.10), which state:
"A Player can be registered with only one Club in each form of the game (such as eleven-a-side or futsal) at a time.". This wording is less ambiguous, so I wonder how strictly the Ntl/LM/HV laws adhere to this.
Furthermore, Central Coast Football have seceded from Football Australia. So in my opinion, signing for a club within CCF should have no bearing on what you can do within another FA-governed competition.
Interested to hear others' thoughts on the matter. Might be worth me emailing the powers that be.
