Maidstone defender Jerome Binnom-Williams has put his name to a letter from National League captains calling on the FA to rethink proposed changes to non-league contracts.
Binnom-Williams, wearing the armband in the absence of Gavin Hoyte, and his fellow skippers say they are "shocked and frustrated" to learn of "significant changes" which potentially affect the rights of injured players.
Under current contracts, an injured player continues to be paid their full wages for the duration of their contract. However, under new proposals, a player would receive their full wages for just 12 weeks in the National League or six weeks below National League level before reverting to statutory sick pay of £99.35 a week.
In addition, clubs would have powers to terminate the contract of a player, with three months' notice, if they are unable to play through illness or injury for a period of four months.
