Burton accept 28 breaches of agent regulations

Burton Albion have accepted 28 breaches of agent regulations after they were charged by the Football Association.

June's charge related to the League One club's transfer business in 2024, when 47 players moved in and out of the club - including a new British record of 23 players recruited in a single transfer window.

Agent Conor Hayden was also charged, as was first reported by the BBC in July 2025, linked to 25 player "transactions" made in the summer that the club was taken over the Sweden-based Nordic Football Group (NFG).

Burton who narrowly avoided relegation from the third tier in 2024-25, had outsourced its transfer dealings to Hayden that summer.

Last month, the FA said Hayden "allegedly concealed and/or misrepresented the reality and/or substance of these transactions so that it was not declared that he had acted for the club".

Across that entire campaign, Hayden was involved in a total of 43 deals done by Burton - including the one that brought manager Gary Bowyer to the club in December 2024.

In a statement, Burton said they had responded to the charge and "would continue to update supporters on the progress of the case".

The BBC has approached Hayden and the FA for comment.
