Newcastle Uniteds Dan Gosling has been fined by the FA for breaching their rules on betting. The 24 year old was charged earlier this month, the first time it had been made public. The offences are not thought to relate to any games played by either Newcastle or Blackpool, the club he spent time on loan at.

The FA statement read;

"Newcastle United's Dan Gosling has been fined £30 000, subject to any appeal, and warned as to his future conduct following an independent regulatory commission hearing.

Gosling, who requested a personal hearing, admitted multiple breaches of FA Rule E8(b) for misconduct in relation to betting."
