Nottingham Forest defender Harry Toffolo has been handed a suspended five-month betting ban by the FA.

The charge relates to a period from 22 January 2014 to 18 March 2017, when Toffolo was a Norwich City player and had loan spells at Swindon Town, Rotherham United, Peterborough United and Scunthorpe United.

A statement by the FA said: “Nottingham Forest's Harry Toffolo has been given a five-month suspension, which has been suspended until the end of the 2024/25 season, and £20,956.22 fine for misconduct in relation to our betting rules.

“The defender admitted that he breached FA Rule E1(b) 375 times between 22 January 2014 and 18 March 2017, and an independent Regulatory Commission imposed his sanctions following a hearing. The Regulatory Commission's written reasons for these decisions will be published in due course."

Toffolo moved to Forest last year from Huddersfield.
