Maidenhead Chairman Confirms Club To Benefit From Sell On Clause

Maidenhead are to benefit from the transfer of their former player Max Kilman from Wolves to West Ham.

Here's what their chairman Peter Griffin has said in a statement:

"I would like to congratulate former Maidenhead United player, Max Kilman, on completing his transfer from Wolves to West Ham and wish him every success.

It is no great secret that when we sold Max to Wolves in 2018 a sell on clause was included within the transfer agreement which the club will now benefit from over the coming few years. ..

As you would expect commercial confidentially prohibits me from providing specific details about the sell on clause, however, we were engaged with various parties during the negotiation process for Max’s transfer. We reached a mutually agreeable position that all parties are satisfied with and importantly it is in the best interest of the club.

Ultimately this is a fantastic outcome for club which will benefit from one of the largest, if not the largest, transfer payments an English non-league club has ever received, which is something to celebrate. This is testament to the hard work of Alan Devonshire and his coaching team past and present, as well our Academy programme which every year is developing players which move into our first team squad." 

Whilst it has not been revealed how much Maidenham will receive from the reported £40M transfer, a 10% sell on clause would bring in £4M.
