Linfield defender William Murphy has been fined and put on the transfer list for what the club described as a breach of discipline at the weekend.
In a statement on Wednesday, Linfield said Murphy's suspension from the club had been lifted and he would resume training on Thursday.
Details of the breach were not revealed and the club said the case was closed.
Long-serving Murphy said he accepted the disciplinary action and regretted his "unacceptable behaviour."
"I wish to apologise unreservedly and most sincerely to the manager, players, staff, board and supporters," said Murphy on the club's website.
"At present my only aim is to attempt to repay the loyalty, support, kindness and goodwill that has been given to me since I arrived at Linfield from Ards in September 1997.
"I was totally in the wrong and I fully regret my actions."
It is believed that the club are considering placing the 36-year-old on the transfer list.
"William has been a great servant of the club but unfortunately there was a breach of discipline," said Jeffrey.

Disappointing, but 3 points to be made:
- He should have been shown the door at the end of last season. His recent performances have been shocking, by all accounts. He's well past his best
- A certain other player was with him on NYE, but called in sick next day. Time to show the door to him as well.
- A certain manager missed a flight to an away fixture on one occasion due to excess alcohol consumption. Did he fine himself or resign? No chance.
