Ivan Toney: Brentford striker 'free' to play after eight-month FA ban expires

Brentford striker Ivan Toney marked the end of his eight-month ban from football with a social media post declaring he was "free".

Toney, 27, is now able to play for the Bees after a suspension for breaking Football Association gambling rules.

Toney has scored 32 goals in 64 Premier League games for Brentford.

"It's like signing a Premier League striker who can score 20 goals because he's proved it," said Bees manager Thomas Frank of Toney's return.

"Every team would be happy to sign a quality player like him. Ivan is a top player but he's also very good at making the whole team better.
