Following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing, Rotherham United’s Kirk Broadfoot will serve an immediate 10-match suspension after a misconduct charge against him was found proven.
The charge was that during a league fixture between Rotherham and Wigan Athletic on March 14 2015 Broadfoot used abusive and/or insulting words towards a member of the opposition, in breach of FA Rule E3(1).
It was further alleged that the breach was an “Aggravated Breach” as defined by Rule E3(2).
Broadfoot was also fined £7,500 and ordered to complete an education programme.
