Jerome admits FA betting charge

Stoke City striker Cameron Jerome has admitted breaking Football Association betting rules, while Accrington Stanley managing director Robert Heys has been charged with breaking them.

Both Jerome and Heys were charged with breaches of the FA's rules "in relation to a number of betting offences".

Jerome, 26, will now face a hearing on a date still to be determined.

BBC Sport understands Jerome's charge is not related to match fixing or betting on games he was involved in.

A statement from Jerome's club confirmed "Jerome accepts the FA charges made against him in relation to breaches of its betting rules".

Stoke added: "Cameron has admitted the charges and will in due course attend an Independent Regulatory Commission, at which he will be supported by the club.

"The club or the player will not be making any further comment at this time."

In June, Tottenham midfielder Andros Townsend was fined £18,000 and banned for four months, three of those months suspended, for a breach of betting regulations.

The charges meant that he missed playing for England Under-21s in the European Championships after he withdrew from the squad.
