How do I transfer a player?

Modified on Mon, 2 Sep, 2024 at 11:21 AM

Note: If a player was registered at a previous club in 2023/24, they will have an 'RFU Registration' at that club, with 'renewal required' status.
The player's 'RFU Registration' will need to be renewed by the player at their previous club before an applicant club can search for that player via 'request a new transfer' in the Player Management tile. Find them by searching for either their first name, last name and DoB.

If a player is 'RFU Registered' at a club but wishes to change club, a transfer on GMS is required. If a player is 'RFU Registered' the request must be completed by the applicant club. If a player is 'Club Registered' the player can add another club to their profile under 'Organisations' and register to play. Note: 'Club Registered' players can hold two simultaneous registrations at one time. If a player wants to register for a third club then the player would need to de-register from one of the two clubs already registered.

HOW TO REQUEST A PLAYER TRANSFER

STEP 1

Log in as the Club Registrar from the club who wishes to receive the player. Click on the 'Player Management' Module in the top left corner of the GMS homepage.

STEP 2

Click on the 'Transfers' tab on the left-hand side. Select 'Request Transfer' in the top right corner of the page.

STEP 3

Search for the player using their first name, last name and date of birth. Select the player to generate the transfer request.

STEP 4

The player's current club will receive notification of the transfer request and will have seven days to approve or reject. Once approved, the player will be 'Club Registered' with the applicant club. If required, the club can now apply for RFU Registration for the player.

Note: If the club does not respond to the transfer request in seven days, the player is automatically transferred to the applicant club.

The deadline to complete transfers are as follows:

7 Feb Men's Level 5 and below
28 Feb Women's Level 2 and below
No transfer deadline for Men's Level 9 and below and Women's Level 5 and below
