The FA has handed an incredible 10-year suspension to a former Reading defender after he found him guilty of spot-fixing and placing illegal bets on an FA Cup tie he played in last season.
Sportsmail has learned that Kynan Isaac, who plays in the Southern Premier League for Stratford, was informed today of the extraordinary ban that will effectively end his career.
The FA began investigating Isaac last season after she was tipped off about suspicious betting patterns in Stratford’s first-round FA Cup defeat to Shrewsbury last November.
The 31-year-old former Reading left-back was charged with spot-fixing in August after it was alleged he was intentionally booked in the 84th minute of his side’s 5-1 defeat as part of a conspiracy with friends to beat the bets . markets.
After appearing before an independent disciplinary committee, it is understood that Isaac has been found guilty of spot-fixing by intentionally earning a yellow card, failing to comply with the FA’s investigation and breaking FA rules by placing multiple bets , including several on his own team.
The resulting 10-year ban is one of the longest the FA has ever issued.

As Stratford play in the Southern League Premier, their matches would not normally be open to such betting markets, but the match was broadcast live on ITV, so bookmakers offered odds on individual players who were warned.
The amount of money bet on a little-known player in the seventh row that was booked led to a warning and the FA’s integrity partners launched an investigation.
