Former West Ham head of player recruitment Tony Henry suspended

Tony Henry, former West Ham head of player recruitment, has been suspended from all football and football-related activity for 12 months and must attend an FA education course.

Henry was suspended by West Ham before being sacked in February after he was accused of racism and discrimination for allegedly telling agents the club did not want to sign any more African players.

"Tony Henry, former West Ham United FC Head of Player Recruitment, has been suspended from all football and football-related activity for 12 months and must attend an FA education course," the FA tweeted through their official spokesperson account.

"Mr Henry admitted a misconduct charge in relation to comments he made that were improper and/or insulting and/or abusive and included reference to ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race and/or nationality."

Henry apologised for his remarks in an interview with Sky Sports News in May.
