Aston Villa star Tyrone Mings warns black players will NOT sign for clubs that haven't joined up to FA's new diversity code

Tyrone Mings believes black footballers will consider boycotting clubs who have not signed up to the FA's historic leadership diversity code, which was unveiled on Tuesday.

As revealed by Sportsmail, Southampton are the only Premier League club not to have joined the FA's new initiative to help combat inequality at the very top of football.

Over 40 clubs across men's and women's professional football have agreed to becoming founding members of the code, with the FA hopeful that many more will follow suit.
