Prince William, who along with Prince Harry, have spoken openly about their own mental health issues, said clubs appeared to only see the players as investments, not as human beings.

LONDON - Prince William has launched a withering broadside at football clubs, lambasting them for a “dereliction of duty” in their lack of care for players’ mental health.

“Some clubs don’t do anything about mental health. We’ve got to change the whole way we look after players,” the 36-year-old Prince said to members of Ahead of the Game, an organisation that delivers mental health support to grassroots football clubs.“So just to have them as a complete financial asset...it’s a dereliction of duty, I think.”

Prince William’s rare outspoken comments drew praise from across the football community including Michael Bennett, the Professional Footballers’ Association’s head of welfare. “Prince William’s comments will carry a serious amount of clout and are potentially game-changing for the way mental health issues are dealt with in football,” Collymore wrote in the Daily Mirror.
