Former Sheffield United Women forward Sophie Jones has vowed to retire from football after the FA imposed a five-game ban over alleged racist abuse of an opponent during a Women's Championship game against Tottenham in January.
Jones was accused of directing monkey noises at Spurs defender Renée Hector during the game and charged with the use of 'abusive and/or insulting words - that included reference to ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race - towards an opponent'.
In addition to a five-game suspension, Jones was also fined £200 and ordered to attend a FA education course, while her contract at Sheffield United was mutually terminated as a result.
