A statement on the FA’s website reads: "Ipswich Town’s Edward Bishop has been charged for alleged multiple breaches of FA Rule E8 in relation to betting. The player has until 1st June 2015 to respond to the charge.”

Players previously found guilty of betting on football matches have received fines or in more serious cases suspensions.
