Magpies striker pleads guilty to common assault charge
Newcastle striker Andy Carroll has been fined £1,000 after admitting assaulting a man in a nightclub.
The 21-year-old pleaded guilty to common assault and was ordered to pay an additional £2,500 compensation at Newcastle Crown Court.
The victim suffered a head injury which required hospital treatment following the incident in the city's Blu Bambu club on 7th December last year.
Carroll had earlier denied assault occasioning actual bodily harm - a charge which was dropped when he pleaded guilty to the lesser offence.
The England Under 21 international scored the winning goal in Saturday's Premier League victory at West Ham.
The Gateshead-born player is a product of the club's academy.
