Former Hearts of Oak and Kumasi Asante Kotoko attacker Charles Taylor has petitioned the Normalization Committee to improve salaries of the local players.

The 37 year old urged the four-man committee to set a wage barrier for local players as part of the new reforms for Ghana Football.

The former Black Stars player suggested the minimum a player should receive as wages should be a GHC 1000.

“I would plead with the Normalization Committee to allocate an amount that clubs should pay the players. At least, a player should be paid 1000 cedis, if the club cannot pay, then it should not be allowed to operate," he told Angel TV.

"Most players are given poor treatment , some usually go hungry, while others are even homeless because they are unable to rent a room due to their low income. The most painful thing is that, once a player protests, he is penalised, which is so sad, so I would plead, if we are reforming, then the Committee must consider salaries,” he added.

Taylor is one of the most talented players to ever grace the domestic scene, he helped Accra Hearts of Oak to win multiple Ghana Premier League titles as well the CAF Champions League in the year 2000.

Before making his famous switch to rivals Kumasi Asante Kotoko and was the star of local Black Stars in the maiden edition of the Championship of Africa Nations (CHAN) in Ivory Coast.
