Q: I have been released and have no club: how do I get back onto the footballing ladder?
A: Firstly, you must not panic. Although the previous club may not have appreciated your
talents, it is highly likely that another will. You need to get your name out there so clubs
recognise you and your ability. As well as this, you need to observe the guidance posted on `Iam above the age of 16 and want to become a professional footballer, what do I need to do?` at the top of this question and answer page.
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.
