Burnley striker Andre Gray looking to move on with career after serving ban

Burnley striker Andre Gray wants to move on with his career after serving a four-match ban for highly-offensive social media posts.

The 25-year-old has come a long way since plying his trade at Hinckley Town, but comments made during those non-league days returned to haunt him.

Last month Gray was charged by the Football Association for bringing the game into disrepute for offensive tweets made in 2012, some of which contained homophobic language.

The Clarets striker publicly apologised for the content of posts that were condemned by his employers, with the governing body handing down a four-match ban and £25,000 fine, as well as a warning as to his future conduct and order to attend an FA education course.
