"The decision was made by Championship clubs at a meeting today ... and subject to further discussions, will now be presented at the EFL agm in June in order for the regulations to be amended to cover the provision of the new technology," the EFL (English Football League) said in a statement on its website (www.efl.com).

The technology will be used to help referees and their assistants determine whether the ball has crossed the goal line.

EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey said: "This decision is about providing our match officials with as much support as possible to ensure they are best placed to make the right calls in even the most difficult of situations."
