L2 News: Compensation Agreed For Medley And Stephens

The Professional Football Compensation Committee meeting held in Manchester on Monday have decided that Barnet should pay Bradford City an initial compensation fee of £7500 with an additional 20% sell-on clause for the signing of Luke Medley.

In setting the fee, the committee took into account the cost of training and developing as well as the players age, length of playing career and the time that Medley had been with City. They also took into consideration the terms offered by both clubs, each clubs status and decisions made by previous hearings.

Bradford had been asking for £50000.

The committee also decided that Oldham Athletic should pay Bury an initial fee of £30000 for Dale Stephens.

They will have to pay a further £10000 once Stephens has played 15, 30, 45 and 60 games for the club - which works out to an additional £40000 and Bury will receive a £25000 payment if Oldham gain promotion within the next two seasons (as long as Stephens is still at the club).

Oldham will also have to pay 20% of any sell-on fee that they receive in the future.
