In the post, which has been shared on its pages on social media, it claims that the incident dates back almost a decade ago prior to his time at the Liberty Way stadium. It states: " Liam is very disappointed and wanted to highlight that this was from over eight years ago, whilst being signed for a club, yet not in the match-day squads.
"The club are currently supporting Liam. The club and Liam would like to stress that he has been given the minimum fine and minimum ban for this particular offence."
The goalie joined the 'Boro in July 2022 and has a contract until 2024.
