I see there are some Zimbabweans playing in UK.

Maybe it's a dumb question, but I honestly have no idea.

Are UK club paying for each Zimbabwean:
- travel & accomodation ? (I assume yes)
- a season fee? April to September?
- what, more or less, an ordinary club player from overseas earns in UK?

Beer money, dingy flat above a nightclub. Coach the kids and a job off the books with the local painter and decorator :lol:

And if you’re a black lad, those small town mzungu girls will be all over you :lol: :lol:

The club will pay you a small amount, a local business will employ you, probably without declaring it to the taxman, and provide accommodation.

Part of the deal will include coaching the youth teams at the club.

The overseas pro is appealing to the local unmarried women.

It varies a lot. Probably anywhere from £100-£300 a game.
I know as couple of guys that have been paid 500
