REGISTERED AGENTS
From 2016 onwards, any person wishing to act as an agent on behalf of a player must be registered with the DRA.
​
The definition of an agent is someone who carries out "Agency Activity" on behalf of a Player: "Agency Activity" acting in any way and at any time in the capacity of manager, agent, representative or adviser to a Player, either directly or indirectly, in any aspect of the negotiation, arrangement or execution of any kind of commercial arrangement including any sponsorship arrangement.
​
Any person who carries out Agency Activity must be registered with the DRA.
If a player uses a person who is not a Registered Agent to carry out Agency Activity they are in breach of Rule 4.1 of the DRA Rules.
​
The initial registration fee is £500+VAT and the annual renewal fee is £250 inclusive of VAT.
​
The process to become a Registered Agent is to complete the application form and follow the guidance.
​
For applicants to be a Registered Agent who live outside the UK please contact the DRA at info@thedra.co.uk before starting the process.
