Brentford forward Ivan Toney has been suspended from all football and football-related activity for eight months, the Football Association has announced.

Former Newcastle United striker Toney was charged by the FA in November for 262 alleged breaches of betting rules over a four-year period and has now discovered his punishment. Bees forward Toney will be banned until January 16 and has been fined £50,000 after he admitted to 232 of the alleged breaches.

"Ivan Toney has been suspended from all football and football-related activity with immediate effect for eight months, which runs up to and including 16 January 2024, fined £50,000 and warned as to his future conduct for breaches of The FA's Betting Rules," an FA statement read.
