The Irish FA has confirmed that Glentoran midfielder John Herron will meet with the association's Disciplinary Committee next month after being charged with an alleged breach of betting rules.
The charge relates to Herron allegedly placing bets on three matches within Northern Ireland in February 2019.
The case is due to be heard on October 2.
Herron is charged with breaching Article 17 of the Articles of Association (and regulations 46a and 46b).
The Irish FA said in a statement: "The Irish Football Association can confirm Glentoran FC player John Herron will attend a meeting of the association’s Disciplinary Committee on 2 October to answer a charge that he breached Article 17 of the Articles of Association (and regulations 46a and 46b).
