Player Transfers for SportsPress is for clubs, leagues and sports websites that run on SportsPress, whether you cover football (soccer) or any other team sport. SportsPress keeps a player’s current and past teams, but not the transfers themselves: who moved, between which clubs and when. This plugin gives every transfer its own structured record (player, season, leagues, club in, club out and transfer date) and lets you publish transfer lists and history anywhere on your site.
Requirements: SportsPress and Meta Box must be installed and active. The plugin prompts you to install them if they are missing.
Live demo: See the plugin in action.
