Troubled Collingwood utility Jordan De Goey has returned to training with his AFL club, ending a three-month absence while embroiled in an assault case in the United States.
De Goey rejoined his teammates at Collingwood training on Friday after the club stood him down when he was charged over an alleged assault at a New York bar on October 30 last year.
De Goey has pleaded guilty to a second-degree harassment violation, which does not carry a criminal conviction.

Collingwood on Thursday received an agreed settlement which is expected to be ratified at a court hearing in the US on January 28.
