Lafferty fined for betting offence

Norwich City striker Kyle Lafferty has been fined £23,000 and warned as to his future conduct after accepting a Football Association betting charge.

The Northern Ireland international, 28, was charged on 29 July with breaching FA rule E8, which bars professional players from betting on football-related matters.

The offence took place on 20 February.

Lafferty made one league appearance for Norwich last season, and played six times for Birmingham City on loan.

He was an unused substitute as Norwich started their Championship season with a 4-1 win over Blackburn on Saturday.
