Dale Stephens: Burnley midfielder banned from driving for 12 months after exceeding alcohol limit

Burnley midfielder Dale Stephens has been fined more than £3,000 and banned from driving for 12 months after breaching drink driving limits.

Stephens pleaded guilty to the charge driving a vehicle with alcohol above the legal limit at Stockport Magistrates' Court on Monday (4 April).

The 32-year-old has made only three Clarets appearances this season.

Burnley said they would treat the issue with "utmost seriousness" and Stephens will face internal disciplinary action.

"As a football club we uphold strong values and hold all our players and staff to the highest standards," a Burnley statement said.
