Kyle Lafferty has been warned and fined by the FA after accepting a charge relating to betting.
The Norwich City forward breached Rule E8 of the Association's Betting Rules on February 20, 2016, by placing a bet "on the result, progress, conduct or any other aspect of, or occurrence in, a football match or competition".
Former Rangers man Lafferty had been given until August 5 to respond to a misconduct charge, and, after accepting, has been fined £23,000 and warned as to his future conduct.
