Transfers

Amateur football transfers, in the open

Amateur transfer markets run on rumour. A player wants to move, a club needs a centre-half, and neither knows the other exists. AthletiLink puts both sides of that market in public: availability on one side, openings on the other, and direct messaging in between.

How the transfer marketplace works

Players mark themselves available and say what they want — a step up, more minutes, a club closer to home. Clubs publish openings by position and level. Nothing is hidden behind an agent or a group chat.

Conversations happen directly between player and club. AthletiLink does not take a cut and does not act as an intermediary on terms.

  • Availability status on every player profile
  • Club openings by position, level and area
  • Direct messaging between player, club and coach
  • Filters for position, level, city and travel radius
  • Public profiles so clubs can assess before contact

Paperwork and digital agreements

Amateur moves still involve registration windows, clearance from your current club and, at semi-pro level, written terms. Handle those with your association and club — the platform is where the conversation and the evidence live, not a substitute for registration.

Keep any agreement in writing, keep a copy, and never sign terms you have not read. If a fee is involved, understand exactly who is paying whom before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

Is AthletiLink an agent?

No. It is a public marketplace and messaging platform. You negotiate directly with clubs, and we take no commission on any move.

Can clubs contact me first?

Yes. Clubs and coaches browse the directory and message players whose profile fits an opening. Keeping your availability current is what makes that happen more often.

Does AthletiLink guarantee I will be signed?

No, and nobody honestly can. What a profile does is help players become more discoverable: it puts your position, measurables, film and availability where clubs, coaches and scouts are already looking, so the people making decisions can find and assess you.

Is it free?

Yes. Creating a player profile, appearing in the directory, listing your availability and messaging clubs and coaches is free. There are no listing fees and no commission.
