England star Jack Grealish was hit with a £1000 bill today after admitting speeding in a 30mph zone. 

The Manchester City midfielder admitted driving at 44mph in his Range Rover Sport when he was caught in a speed trap at Wythall, Worcestershire, last July.

The 28-year-old had originally also been accused of failing to give information relating to the identification of the driver of the vehicle, which costs up to £114,000, but that charge was withdrawn at today’s brief hearing at Worcester Magistrates Court.

Grealish did not attend court but his barrister John Dye entered a guilty plea on his behalf. Mr Dye said he had been “instructed to apologise” on Grealish’s behalf. He was fined £666 and ordered to pay £110 costs and a £266 victim surcharge by magistrates.

Mr Dye said the footballer ‘could afford to pay’ the amount.
