England and Nottingham Forest attacking midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White has been handed a £1,000 court bill after his Range Rover was caught running a red light.

The 26-year-old’s vehicle was caught on camera going past a set of lights in West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire, 1.1 seconds after they turned red.

Gibbs-White, who earned his first England cap in 2024, failed to respond to two police letters asking him to confirm if he had been driving at the time of the red light offence, according to court documents.

Last Tuesday, he was convicted by a court of failing to provide the identity of a driver at the time of an offence.

Nottinghamshire Police put out an alert on Gibbs-White’s car when the force tried to investigate the traffic light incident, and found the number plate registered with the DVLA was one letter different from what was on the vehicle.

Staffordshire Police then pulled over the Range Rover in April and confirmed it belonged to Gibbs-White.

At Southern Derbyshire Magistrates’ Court, he was fined £660, given six penalty points on his licence and ordered to pay £120 in costs and a £264 victim surcharge.

A court official said Gibbs-White did not enter a plea or mitigation, and was sentenced behind closed doors under the fast-track Single Justice Procedure.

Court papers show a Nottinghamshire Police camera caught Gibbs-White’s car going past a red traffic light at 15:17 GMT on 28 January in Radcliffe Road.

“At the time of the offence, the vehicle was captured failing to comply with a red light signal, the time into the red light was recorded as 1.1 seconds,” a police worker wrote in her statement.

Gibbs-White was banned from driving for six months in May last year after he was caught speeding six times in the space of three months.

At the time, he was ordered to pay just under £4,000 in fines for the spate of offences, including two speeding tickets acquired on the same day.

Gibbs-White, who signed for Forest in 2022 from Wolverhampton Wanderers, has made 10 appearances for England and was called up to Thomas Tuchel’s recent squad for the Nations League.
