Wrexham Handed Fine for Breaching Player Eligibility Rules
The club said it reached an agreed decision with the EFL after two eligibility breaches involving Issa Kabore and Callum O'Hare.
- Wrexham has been fined £75,000 by the English Football League on Wednesday, with £25,000 of the penalty suspended, after reaching an agreed decision concerning two player eligibility breaches.
- The breaches involved Issa Kaboré, whose documentation was not submitted for the August 28 match against Birmingham City, and Callum O'Hare, unregistered for the September 2 victory over Millwall.
- Chief executive Michael Williamson noted registration failures occurred before sporting director Steve Nickson arrived September 7, amid an administrative restructure that left the club without a secretary for nearly a year.
- Wrexham avoided a points deduction because Kaboré played in a defeat while O'Hare remained an unused substitute; EFL precedent suggests forfeiture could have occurred had he featured.
- To prevent future incidents, the club is actively seeking to appoint a secretary. Manager Phil Parkinson's side travels to Sheffield United on Friday sitting 17th in the Championship.
