England Sophie Bradley says women should be better rewarded amidst a dispute with the Federal Association. The Professional Footballers' Association is in talks with the FA over an increase to the players' central contracts that are currently worth £16,000 a year.
.
That deal ended in November and ongoing talks saw players go unpaid in December.
.
'' We play for the love of the game, but at the same time you need to be rewarded for doing well '' said Bradley.
.
The 23-year-old defender told the world that she thinks that the players' salaries should increase in line with recent advancements in the women's game.

It is understood that negotiations between the PFA and FA centre around the additional 24 hours players are allowed to work each week in addition to players' central contracts and money they receive on a semi-professional basis from their clubs.
