Wolves coach Luke Wilkshire said this agreement is a sign all clubs can come to a resolution with players to ensure a competition is played.

"As a coach, I could not be prouder of this playing group," Wilkshire said.

"In the modern day to see the love of the game to come before lining of pockets and self-interest is pure credit to this group who are leading by example.

"I urge everyone involved in this beautiful game of ours to just let the players play."

While the Wolves have faced a number of financial cuts in recent months, the club remains thankful for the support of primary backer Tory Lavalle.

Wolves captain James Stojcevski said the playing group recognised sacrifices had to be made in order to return to the pitch for the 2020 season.

"We as a playing group ultimately just want to play football," Stojcevski said.

"We understand COVID-19 has affected everyone including the club's position to make player payments and therefore have agreed to minimal payments for 2020 to allow the club to survive financially and enable us to do what we love most and that's playing the beautiful game."
