Ivan Toney breaks his silence after he's hit with huge eight-month betting ban

Ivan Toney admitted he is "naturally disappointed" after being handed an eight-month ban by the Football Association (FA) on Wednesday.

The England international, 27, was found guilty of betting offences dating back to 2017 by the FA. He was charged with 232 breaches of the FA's rules in November and a further 30 in December, although the latter breaches were withdrawn.

Toney has promised to "focus on returning to play the game I love next season". The news will come as a huge blow to Brentford, as the prolific striker has scored 21 goals in all competitions this season. The Bees are ninth in the Premier League table.
