The 27-year-old spent the first half of the 2023-24 campaign suspended after admitting to breaching Football Association betting rules. He initially faced 262 charges, but the governing body later withdrew 30 of those charges.

However, after returning to action, Toney wasted no time getting back on the scoresheet for the Bees, and his performances earned him a place in Gareth Southgate's England squad against Brazil and Belgium last month.
