Nottingham Forest defender was given a suspended five-month ban for breaching English soccer’s betting rules, the Football Association said Wednesday.
Defender admitted to 375 breaches of gambling regulations and was fined 20,956 pounds ($26,177), the FA said.
The FA has not yet revealed details of the violations, which occurred between Jan. 22, 2022 and October 18, 2023. The ban was suspended until the end of the 2024-25 season.
The sanctions were imposed after a hearing with an independent regulatory commission and the full reasons for the decision will be published at a later date, the FA said.
FA rules state participants “shall not bet, either directly or indirectly, or instruct, permit, cause or enable any person to bet on” matches or competitions.
