Brentford striker Ivan Toney had his betting ban reduced to eight months, it has been revealed.

Toney was originally handed an 11 month playing ban for betting on games against FA rules.

However, that was reduced thanks to a psychiatry expert who gave evidence to the FA's regulatory commission diagnosed Toney with a gambling addiction and concluded he needed professional help.

The FA had originally sought a 15 month ban for the England international, says BBC Sport.

However, his ban was reduced to 11 months given he pleaded guilty to all 232 charges, before it was further reduced to reflect his diagnosed addiction.
