Yes, I read that too. Shame, because he looked promising on his first team debut. Didn't do much down at Torquay though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope as much as any City fan he has an amazing career and it's all lies but the more I hear the more I doubt it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is fully convicted (i.e. of the “with intent” bit, as well of as the GBH itself) a lengthy custodial sentence (i.e. years) would be virtually a nailed-on certainty.

Allwaysred Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 City terminated his contract in the summer once they knew the severity of what happened. Newport we're intrested on a short term deal but so I hear never attended training so got told don't bother. Great shame and unfortunately has thrown it all away... Hopefully he learns and turns a corner and get the support he deserves being a local lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
