Former Bolton Wanderers, Hull City and West Bromwich Albion striker Delroy Facey denies being part of a match-fixing conspiracy.
Facey pleaded not guilty to a charge of conspiracy to commit bribery during a brief hearing before a judge at Birmingham Crown Court.
Facey is alleged to have committed the offence by offering financial advantage to others, including professional footballers, in November 2013.
The striker, whose former clubs also include Huddersfield, Notts County, Tranmere and Lincoln, was bailed to appear for trial at the same court on April 13 next year.
