Its the same as the loan deadline at the end of March. You could sign an out of contract player but wouldn't be able to play until next season

Contracts expire at the end of June. Even if you agree a deal, you can't sign them until 1st July.

Says here that free agents can be signed at any time during the season?

I'm guessing he means players who are out of contract at the end of the season.

I might be wrong though
If I remember rightly, we could sign a current free agent but not be able to register them for league games.

I think you can sign them as long as they have not already played for 2 clubs this season?
I assumed Nicky Maynard had been released by Cardiff in January but he got called back into the squad this weekend. He is in the last few months of his contract and could be worth a gamble on a pre contract agreement for us regardless of which division we are in next season?

I was thinking about the scenario whereby a player's contract is cancelled by mutual consent, in order to allow the player to join another club. On that basis they would be a free agent and available to sign for us? Or we could just put two fingers up to the world and give Ched a weekly contract to see us through the play offs!!!
