Nottingham Forest defender, Harry Toffolo has been given a suspended five-month ban by the Football Association after admitting 375 breaches of betting rules.
The 28-year-old’s ban is suspended until the end of 2024-25. He has also been fined £20,956.
Toffolo breached FA rules which ban players from placing bets or passing on information that could be used for betting 375 times between 22 January 2014 and 18 March 2017.
“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 decision will be published in due course.”
After departing Norwich, Toffolo joined Millwall and Lincoln, before linking up with Forest last season after a three-year stay at Huddersfield.
He featured in 19 Premier League games last term to help Steve Cooper’s side avoid relegation back into the Championship.
But he has failed to feature in the top-flight this term, with his only outing coming in the second round defeat against Burnley.
During the time of the offences, Harry Toffolo was contracted to Norwich, where he came through the academy.
And in those three years, he was shipped out on loan to Swindon, Rotherham, Peterborough and Scunthorpe.
