players against premature career ends as well.

They can recoup a large part of the transfer fee from the insurer if the player suffers a career ending injury.

The player than also has his own insurance against loss of earnings from career-ending injuries. That was why Notman couldn't play for non-league teams for a year or two after he "retired"
