Recruitment & transfers, notifications and a new Plan & billing
A complete deal workflow from shortlist to signed contract, notifications for what matters to each member, a customizable dashboard, search and commands with ⌘K, targets per team, a season timeline in the player profile, a redesigned Plan & billing page and a full help center.
Recruitment & transfers
ModuleRecruitment & transfers is rebuilt around a single concept: the deal. Every incoming transfer, contract renewal and departure is a deal that moves through clear stages, with its terms, people, actions and documents in one place.
Pipeline
- A board per direction (incoming, renewals, outgoing) with drag and drop between stages, plus a list view.
- Signing a deal asks for confirmation and lists any open checklist items or pending approvals first.
- Deals that fall through are marked as lost, with a reason.
Deal page
- Negotiation: bids and counter-bids per track (club terms and personal terms), the gap between the latest offers, and the option to adopt an accepted round as the deal terms. Instalments and add-ons with their triggers are tracked here as well.
- Checks: approval steps (coach, CEO, board, owner) and a standard checklist per direction that can be adjusted per deal.
- Documents: upload directly on the deal by drag and drop; documents attached to a deal also appear on the player profile.
- Activity: a timeline of contact moments and every change to the deal.
- A fixed side column with the deal details, the clubs and agents involved, the terms and the next actions.
Signing updates the squad
A signed incoming deal adds the player to the squad with a contract, dates and salary. A signed renewal creates the new contract. A completed departure marks the player as sold, released or loaned out and closes the current contract.
Around the deals
- Offers: every open deal with the latest offer from each side, the difference and who needs to respond.
- Shortlists: recruitment needs per position, ranked shortlists and a shadow squad on the pitch.
- Outgoing: players on the market with interested clubs and mandates, players out on loan, and contracts expiring within twelve months.
- Contacts: a register of agents and clubs, with a warning for agents without a license on record.
- Squad rules: squad size, visa, marquee and salary cap rules per season, with compliance now and projected once current deals complete.
- Transfer window: dates, deadline and budget, with committed spend, spend in negotiation, what remains and net spend.
- Transfers: a history of incoming and outgoing transfers, with fees in the original currency and converted.
- Dashboard: a row on the Club Overview with the transfer window, the pipeline per direction and the squad rules that need attention.
Amounts (terms, bids and budget) are only visible to roles with access to financial information.
Notifications
The bell in the top bar now covers everything relevant to the signed-in member, not only squad changes from Hudl StatsBomb.
- Assigned: being made owner of a deal, or an action assigned by name.
- Owned deals: changes made by others to a deal the member owns, such as a new stage, a deal marked as lost, a bid recorded or answered, an approval given or declined, or a document added.
- Club events: a player signed, a contract extension signed, a departure completed.
- Needs attention: actions due today or overdue, a transfer window deadline within seven days, and documents expiring within 30 days.
- Hudl StatsBomb: squad changes to review and automatic match data updates.
Changes made by the member themselves never count. Each notification links straight to the relevant place. View all notifications opens a full page with the last 90 days grouped by day and filterable by For you, Your deals and Club, next to a column with what needs attention and the latest from Hudl StatsBomb.
Notifications follow the same permissions as the data behind them.
A customizable dashboard
A Customize button on the Club Overview opens a panel to show or hide each tile, grouped by key figures, squad and module. Rows close up around hidden tiles, and Show all restores the default. The choice is saved per browser and does not affect colleagues. Only tiles the member has access to are listed.
Season timeline in the player profile
The Seasons tab in a player profile is now a timeline with a column per season:
- a contract bar across the seasons, with option years and the first season out of contract marked;
- age at the start of each season and the team;
- minutes from Hudl StatsBomb, shown as a bar;
- the score in the main profile (with Scouting) and the salary (with access to financial information), each with the change from the previous season;
- deals linked to that season (with Recruitment & transfers);
- the contract decision, editable in place and colored by the decision.
The current season is highlighted, future seasons are shown lighter.
Plan & billing
Settings → Plan & billing is redesigned.
- The plan shows the agreement type, whether the club is on a pilot or an active agreement, the relevant end or renewal date, and usage: members, teams, active modules and where the data is stored.
- Included in every plan: the base platform and what it covers.
- Add-on modules: each with its own icon, a status (Active, Available or Coming soon) and what it includes.
- Billing details as a summary with an Edit button, next to the invoices.
The module icons also appear under My Account → Club & access and on the screen shown when a module is not part of the plan, which now links to Plan & billing.
Search and commands
Search in the top bar now opens a command window, also with ⌘K (or Ctrl K) from anywhere in Agones.
- Actions: start a new deal, add a target, upload a document, invite a member or switch between light and dark mode, without leaving the current page.
- Go to: every page in the sidebar, plus Notifications and My Account.
- Search: players, deals and documents, grouped, as soon as two characters are typed.
- Team and season: switch to another team or season by typing its name.
- Help: the latest release notes, the help center and sign out.
Everything follows the plan and the member's role: only pages, actions and results the member has access to appear. The window is fully keyboard driven: arrow keys to move, Enter to open, Escape to close.
Targets per team
ScoutingTargets now belong to a team. A women's team and a men's team each have their own list, and the same player can be followed for several teams, for example a young talent followed for both the academy and the first team.
- Targets shows the targets for the team selected in the top bar.
- The actions menu of a target has Follow for, to add or remove teams.
- A new target is linked to the selected team, or to the team of the deal or recruitment need it was created from.
- Scouting → Overview and Squad gaps only consider the targets of the selected team when suggesting the best target for a role.
- Existing targets were linked to the club's first team.
Help center and What's new
The help center at docs.agones-pro.com covers every part of the platform, screen by screen, in five sections: Getting started, Squad & contracts, Scouting, Recruitment & transfers and Administration. Each page states which module or permission a feature needs. Release notes are published in the changelog.
The question mark in the top bar shows the latest release, marked until it has been seen, with links to the full release notes and the help center. The sign-in screen links to the latest release as well.
Improvements
- Recruitment overview: open deals by stage read as a pipeline per direction; stages with deals stand out, empty stages are plain text.
- Recruitment overview: Needs attention is grouped by player, with each signal as a label (overdue, due this week, no recent contact, no owner).
- Deal page: negotiation, checks and documents in tabs, with counters, next to a fixed column with the deal details.
- Squad Depth: clicking a position opens a menu with the player's photo, position, availability and salary, and each action with a short explanation.
- Squad Depth: all dialogs close with Escape or a click outside, and the player picker names the position as shown on the pitch.
- Player photos load once and stay cached until a photo changes, instead of reloading on every page.
- Sidebar: the Recruitment & transfers section lists Overview, Pipeline, Offers, Shortlists, Outgoing, Transfers, Contacts and Squad rules, and each section can be collapsed.
- Team and season picker: turns gray on screens that cover the whole club, and grays out the team on screens that only follow the season, with an explanation on hover.
- Season labels: season-bound figures show their season, such as Scouting score · 2026/27 in the player profile and 2026/27 salaries on the Club Overview.
- Sign-in screen: the Agones mark in the top corner, and a link to the latest release notes.
Fixes
- Squad rules followed the selected team but always used the current season instead of the selected one.
- The notifications page did not show Hudl StatsBomb updates that appeared in the bell.
- A double divider line appeared at the bottom of the notifications panel.
