One experienced Tottenham star has been elected by his peers to represent them on the Professional Footballer Association’s Players’ Board.
What is the PFA’s Players’ Board?
The PFA have now confirmed the list of players who have been elected by their fellow members to be part of the Players’ Board.
The Players’ Board plays a vital role in the running of the PFA, ensuring that the organisation is working on the issues that are important to the players.
The board will consist of a total of 13 members, including two players elected from the Premier League, each division of the EFL, and the Women’s Super League (WSL), as well as three former players.
Tottenham man elected
Tottenham‘s Ben Davies is one of the ten new names that has been inducted to the board after the latest round of votes.
According to the PFA’s website, the Welshman will now act as one of the ‘the voices of the changing room’, ensuring that the concerns of the Premier League players are heard by the organisation, and assisting in the running of the PFA.
Ben Davies is the perfect man for the job
Davies is certainly not your average professional footballer, having earned a business and economics degree from the Open University back in 2021 (The Athletic).
The 31-year-old is extremely experienced and knowledgeable about the business of football, and he is the right man to ensure that the players’ interests are addressed effectively in the PFA.
