The latest information for Season 2024 can be found on the Overseas Player Information tab above ……..
There are certain minor amendments contained therein but the main issue to be aware of is that the qualifying length of time needed for a Category 3 player to be resident in the UK to claim Category 1 status has been reduced to a minimum of 210 days in the period between ist April 2023 and 31st March 2024.
The MCS will require written confirmation from the club and player that this criteria has been met for Category 1 status to be given.
