Ivan Toney has revealed his shock career plan after retiring from football

Brentford striker Ivan Toney has stated that once his career as a professional football player ends, he wants to pursue a career in acting.

The striker will soon be able to return and play football again after completing his ban for breaching gambling rules.

Toney has spent a lot of time away from football because of his ban and had plenty of time for soul-searching and think about the future.

Even though his main goal has been to go back to Brentford’s side in the best possible form, Toney thinks he sees a bright future for himself when he hangs up his boots.

Toney told Sky Sports:

“I feel like sometimes you just need a break from a lot of things – to go somewhere, clear your head and relax.

“It’s been quite peaceful. I feel like I know myself a lot better than I did before.
