A player will have to have been registered with his club from the age of 15 - down from 18 - to qualify as 'home-grown'.
The minimum number of home-grown players in a club's first-team squad of 25 will increase from eight to 12, phased over four years from 2016.
At least two home-grown players must also be 'club-trained' players - defined as any player, irrespective of nationality, that has been registered for three years at their club from the age of 15.
Only the best non-EU foreign players will be granted permission to play in England.
Personally I think the first three show the value of our new training centre and TB's foresight.
Not so sure about number four. We have tried to develop players fro Latvia, Iceland and probably other non EU countries. Apparently it's a move designed to ensure only outstanding non EU talent comes in - in other words affordable only to Premier League and a handful of Championship Clubs. The rest will be forced to look again at over priced Football League players or certain other EU countries.
But hey, we're alright Jack with Lancing in place.
