Preston North End players cleared of match-fixing

By , Reporter |
Five Preston North End Players and a former player arrested in connection with a match-fixing investigation are cleared.

Preston North End have confirmed that five of their players have been cleared of match-fixing allegations.

John Welsh, Bailey Wright, David Buchanan, Ben Davies and Keith Keane, as well as former Preston player Graham Cummins, were all arrested in April as part of a spot-fixing investigation by the National Crime Agency.

A statement from the League One side read: "In April of this year a number of our players were very publicly arrested in connection with a wider investigation into 'spot-fixing' in football.

"At the time, they were bailed with a date for answering bail subsequently set for Wednesday July 30, 2014.

"We have today been informed that all of our players have been released from bail and are no longer under any form of formal arrest procedure. There will be no further comment on this matter."

Keane also took to Twitter to thank his fans for their support.
