England footballer Toney charged with assault in Soho
The 30-year-old former Brentford striker is due to appear in court next month.
England footballer Ivan Toney faces assault charges following an incident at a Soho nightclub. The 30-year-old, who plays for Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli, was charged on July 31st after an altercation on Wardour Street in central London on December 6th. Toney, who started in England's 6-4 victory over France in the World Cup's bronze final, has been accused of causing actual bodily harm.
He is set to face Westminster Magistrates' Court on September 24th. Toney's teammate's representative stated that he acknowledges the charge and aims to prove his innocence in court. Toney's career began at Northampton Town, where he later played for Newcastle, Peterborough, and Brentford before joining Al-Ahli in 2024. Despite being a surprise pick for the World Cup squad, Toney only played two matches for England, including the France game and a late substitute appearance against Argentina.
