Brentford’s £50 million signing, Ivan Toney is now facing a lengthy ban after being charged with 30 more breaches of betting rules by the English FA.

His initial charges came in November, and he was accused of breaching betting rules 232 times over a four-year period.

26-year-old Toney has now been charged with 30 more alleged breaches relating to a different two-year period.

A statement from the FA read;

“Ivan Toney has been charged with misconduct in relation to alleged breaches of The FA’s Betting Rules.

“In addition to the previous charge, it is alleged that the Brentford FC forward breached FA Rule E8 a further 30 times between 14 March 2017 and 18 February 2019. Ivan Toney has until Wednesday 4 January 2023 to provide a response.”

Toney, who played for Northampton, Peterborough and on loan at four other EFL clubs before joining the Brentford in 2020, had already said he will assist the FA with their enquiries and will not make a comment until after the investigation has concluded.
