Brentford striker Toney faces ban after 232 alleged betting rule breaches

November 17 - Brentford striker Ivan Toney faces a ban after being charged by the FA with 232 alleged breaches of betting rules.

The charges relate to alleged violations of betting rules between February 25, 2017 and January 23, 2021.

During this period, Toney has played for four different clubs: Scunthorpe United, Wigan Athletic, Peterborough United and Brentford, who he signed for in September 2020.

Brentford were promoted to the Premier League via the play-offs at the end of the 2020/21 season. None of the charges relate to Brentford's time at the senior level.

Toney's goals were crucial in Brentford's promotional season and this season he scored 10 Premier League goals in 15 appearances, earning him a call-up to England, but ultimately not enough for a place in England's final World Cup squad.

Toney previously said via statement that he was "assisting the FA in their investigations".

Brentford said in a statement: "The club have been in discussions with Ivan and his legal representatives. These conversations will continue in private."

"We will make no further comment until the matter is resolved."
