The news that Sky Sports is set to be named as the main broadcaster of the FA Women’s Super League from 2021, is yet another boost for women’s football.
We work with sports professionals at all levels from young pros to established internationals, tailoring cost-effective personal accident and illness insurance that provides long-term financial protection.

Whilst the risk of injury and illness may be unavoidable, its financial impact can be significantly mitigated with the proper planning and the correct cover.
Triggered by a career ending injury or illness, Miller’s policy pays a tax-free lump sum benefit based on the value insured which is agreed at inception and usually based on value and length of a player's contract.
Additional benefits include:
A player’s contract determines how long their club is obliged to pay their salary after they sustain a serious or career ending injury. This timeframe is governed by the contract and a country’s legislation, which varies from one country to another.
If the worst happens to a player, their club can terminate their contract and in some cases stop paying their salary after six months.
Having a personal accident & illness policy can therefore safeguard a player’s financial future should the unthinkable happen.
