Ivan Toney: Brentford striker accepts breaking FA betting rules

Brentford striker Ivan Toney has accepted breaking Football Association betting rules ahead of his appearance before a disciplinary panel.

It means the 26-year-old is potentially facing a lengthy ban.

Toney was charged with 232 breaches in November and a further 30 the following month.

It is understood he has admitted many of the offences - FA rule E8 bans players from betting on games, or sharing information for betting.

However the player is contesting others.

The alleged breaches took place between 25 February 2017 and 23 January 2021, during which time Toney represented Scunthorpe United, Wigan Athletic, Peterborough United and Brentford.
