Former Newcastle United player Danny Guthrie has been declared bankrupt.
The 35-year-old racked up excessive gambling debts in the region of £120,000.
Guthrie started his career at Liverpool before spells at Toon, Bolton Wanderers, Reading, Blackburn Rovers and Walsall.
Kevin Read, Official Receiver at the Insolvency Service, said: "Danny Guthrie's actions were deliberate in dissipating assets, at a time he was already insolvent, and to the loss of his creditors.
"This extension of bankruptcy restrictions should serve as a warning that the Insolvency Service will take action to tackle such financial wrongdoing."
