About The Role
The Off-Pitch Pathway Scheme (OPPS) is a joint initiative from the
Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) and English Football League (EFL)
designed to help former players and scholars move into meaningful, long-

The programme has been backed by a joint investment of £225,000 from the PFA and

operations.
OPPS roles are open to all PFA members,...
