Bradford City midfielder Harry Chapman has been charged by the Football Association with breaching betting rules.

The charges relate to 2017 when the 25-year-old was playing for Championship side Blackburn.

Bradford said in a statement that Chapman has the club's "full support" and will continue training with his team-mates.

Chapman has until Thursday, 6 July to respond to the charges.

Under FA rules and regulations, there is a worldwide ban on betting on football in place for those involved in the sport from the Premier League level down to step three of the non-league pyramid.

This includes betting on matches and other football-related matters such as transfers, signings, managerial appointments and sackings, or team selections.
