Everton defender Yerry Mina has been fined 10,000 for breaching FA betting rules.

Mina was charged after starring in an advert for a betting company in his native Colombia.

The former Barcelona defender admitted the charge and apologised for his error, with his association Betjuego coming to an end earlier this year.

Mina has avoided a ban for his involvement but has been handed the fine and warned about his future conduct.

FA rules state no individual can advertise or promote any betting activity that they are prohibited from engaging in.
