Yeovil Town and head coach Billy Rowley will not face an FA investigation following allegations of player poaching. Rowley, who was appointed by Yeovil Town in November after managing lower-league Walton & Hersham, was accused by his former club of attempting to sway contracted players about their futures.
In May, Walton & Hersham—recently promoted to the National League South—claimed that Rowley made repeated efforts to influence their players and announced they would file a complaint with the Football Association.
However, the FA has since issued a statement denying any ongoing investigation into Yeovil Town or its staff. An FA spokesperson clarified that although Walton & Hersham did submit an official complaint, there was insufficient evidence to pursue a formal inquiry.

Despite the complaint, Yeovil Town have since signed winger Mason Obeng, midfielder Johl Powell, and goalkeeper Jos Barker, all former Walton & Hersham players.
