Summary

England and Nottingham Forest attacking midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White has received a £1,000 court bill after his Range Rover was photographed running a red light. The incident occurred in West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire, where his vehicle passed a set of traffic lights just 1.1 seconds after they turned red.

The 26-year-old, who earned his first England cap in 2024, failed to respond to two police letters requesting confirmation of whether he was driving at the time of the offence. As a result, he was convicted last Tuesday at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates' Court for failing to provide the identity of the driver involved in the incident.

Key details of the case include:

  • Nottinghamshire Police issued an alert regarding Gibbs-White's vehicle during their investigation.
  • They discovered the number plate registered with the DVLA differed by one letter from the actual plate on the car.
  • Staffordshire Police subsequently pulled over the Range Rover in April and confirmed it was registered to Gibbs-White.

As part of his sentence, Gibbs-White was fined £660, received six penalty points on his driving licence, and was ordered to pay £120 in costs along with a £264 victim surcharge.
