FORMER Notts County striker Delroy Facey has been named as one of six people arrested by police on suspicion of football match-fixing.
He is one of six members of an alleged betting syndicate who have been arrested on suspicion of fixing English football matches, police said.
The arrests were made following a sting by the Daily Telegraph, in which it claims undercover reporters discussed the possibility of influencing the scores and outcomes of lower-league English games for as little as £50,000.
A spokesman for the National Crime Agency said: "Six men have been arrested across the country as part of an NCA investigation into alleged football match fixing. The focus of the operation is a suspected international illegal betting syndicate.
"The NCA is working closely with the Gambling Commission and the Football Association. This is an active investigation and we are unable to provide further detail at this time."
Facey has played for a number of lower league clubs in his career and joined Notts County in 2008 from Gillingham.
He played 63 times, scoring 11 goals, and was part of the team that won the League Two title in 2010. He left Meadow Lane to join to Lincoln City in May 2010.
