The FA are facing calls from players to overhaul their safeguarding regulations to give victims of abuse more support following Sportsmail’s revelations about an Aston Villa coach accused of asking female youngsters for naked photographs.
Villa Academy coach Jack Peel resigned in September 2021 and was subsequently banned by the FA after club and FA investigations concluded he was guilty of sending inappropriate text messages to players at the club.
A number of Peel’s alleged victims were never contacted or informed about his suspension however, which has led the PFA to demand changes to the FA’s safeguarding policies.
