Q: My son is 14 years old, is this too young to have an agent?
A: A player cannot sign a contract with an agent until the year he reaches 16. A pre-contract
agreement can be offered by agents for players who really stand out, but up until the player is
18 years of age written consent of a parent of guardian is needed for the deal to be processed
formally.
A football agent is a person who, for a fee, procures and negotiates employment and endorsement deals for their player.
In return, football agents receive a commission that is usually five percent of the contract, although this figure varies between various agents.
Some football agents work as part of large companies and others work individually in their own business.
The number of players an individual football agent has on their books varies from agent to agent depending on the quality and endorsements of their existing players.
Football agents may be relied upon by their clients for guidance in all aspects of business, and depending on the nature of the agent, even social and personal aspects of the client's lives.
