A former Finn Harps player has been suspended for illegal betting.
The Ballybofey side issued a statement on the matter a short time ago.
The FAI has confirmed the player is Ryan Rainey.
The club confirmed that following the conclusion of a disciplinary process, a former player has been suspended from all football-related activity for six months.
Former Finn Harps player, Ryan Rainey.
The suspension arises from breaches of the FAI Disciplinary Regulations relating to betting.
The sanction was imposed by an Independent Disciplinary Committee following a disciplinary hearing.
A club spokesperson said “News of the disciplinary matter came as a shock to the club, whilst no crime was committed there are very strict rules in place which the club and FAI inform all players of each year that they must comply with.
“Finn Harps has strong views on gambling and the harm it causes to members of our society. The club has offered the services of a counsellor as well as proactively supporting the player through this process through communication with the Professional Footballers Association.”
It’s believed that this case relates to bets placed both at home and abroad.
