Former Swindon Town caretaker manager Tommy Wright has been handed a football suspension following a bribery conviction.
The ex-first team coach was found guilty in December 2019 after being snared in an undercover investigation into corruption in football by the Daily Telegraph.
He accepted a £5,000 bribe to leak commercial information about Barnsley players in 2016.

He and football agent Dax Price, who was convicted of two charges of offering bribes, were given suspended prison sentences last year.
A statement on the FA website has revealed that Wright has been suspended from all football related activity for six years apart from coaching. Price has been suspended from all football-related activity for nine years.
The sanctions are effective from November 16.
