(Reuters) - Nottingham Forest's Harry Toffolo has been handed a suspended five-month ban and fined almost 21,000 pounds ($26,000) after admitting to 375 breaches of the Football Association's (FA) betting rules, the governing body said on Wednesday.

The breaches occurred between 2014 to 2017 when the full back was with Norwich City and had loan spells at clubs including Swindon Town, Rotherham United, Peterborough United and Scunthorpe United.
