Well yes but you could say, here’s half your money, go work but not for a tier 1 nation til 2025 say
Is that legal?
I didn't think you could put (legally binding) clauses in contracts for what someone who's not contracted can do.
Gardening leave is one thing, but "you're released from your contract, but still have contractual obligations" seems a very different thing.
As far as I could tell, he was basically doing some video analysis whilst on gardening leave.

He’s not on gardening leave if still working. And you can certainly negotiate terms of leaving under a compromise agreement including not going to a competitor- which would likely be in the main contract tbh.
Compromise agreement is the key bit to remember.

Max Malins has ruptured his achilles. Had heard he was weighing up a renewal from Bristol and a good offer in France. Presumably this injury puts the kibosh on any French move.
Poor lad.

As far as I understand it, non-compete causes that stop staff from joining a direct competitor are nearly impossible to enforce as it's restricting freedom to work. I may be wrong as I'm not a lawyer.

Nonetheless many contracts and compromise agreements have them and in a high profile environment you couldn’t exactly hide. If it’s legitimately a threat to your ‘business’ then they are legal, providing there is a time limit.
There were moves to make it much harder to have these clauses in 2023 but not sure of the outturn.

Having the clause in the contract and the clause being enforceable are two different things!

of course, but suspect it would deter a prospectve employer in such a visible field.

Sounds like Fasogbon has done his achilles. Won’t see him again until next season if that’s the case.

Shame, he was playing really well.

On the one hand, dammit - he was playing and developing well.
On the other hand.. he was already in danger of having been overplayed this season.
ETA: FTR, I'm NOT saying that this injury was a result of playing too much
