Clive Efford MP, Labour’s Shadow Sports Minister, has written to the FA asking them to intervene to prevent Ched Evans returning to play football.

Clive Efford MP said:

“Ched Evans has been convicted of a serious offence and I would urge any football club to listen to the widespread public opposition to him returning to football.
 
“The decision on whether players should return to football after committing serious offences is not a matter solely for individual clubs and I have asked the FA to refuse his registration when Oldham Athletic approach them.”​​
