EFL clubs have agreed a revised approach to the summer transfer window which will see League One and Two clubs able to register players until August 31st.
Clubs gave their indicative support to the proposals today ahead of a formal vote at an Extraordinary General Meeting.
Outlining the situation an EFL statement reads: "A deadline of 31st August for League One and League Two clubs for all permanent and loan registrations, thereby providing increased flexibility in relation to trading between clubs in those two divisions.”
The deadline for Championship clubs closes at 5pm on the Thursday prior to the start of the Premier League season on Saturday 10th August.
EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey said: "I’m pleased that the matter has been determined and thereby ensuring clubs have sufficient time to prepare ahead of the summer transfer window opening in June.
"It is right that clubs were given the opportunity to determine the direction of travel in order to come to a decision that benefitted their own individual transfer policies.”
