The 28-year-old has been charged by the CPS following an alleged incident in Leicester in January


Former Boro star Lee Tomlin will continue to play football after being charged with grievous bodily harm following an alleged assault.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has confirmed the 28-year-old has been charged along with another footballer, in relation to an alleged incident in Leicester in the early hours of January 22.

The forward - who left Middlesbrough two years ago - now plays for Cardiff City, and the club said in a statement: “Cardiff City FC is aware of the charges that have been brought against Lee Tomlin, dating back to January this year.

“The club will be making no further comment relating to this at this time.

“Lee will continue as part of the first team squad and, as such, travelled for (Saturday’s) game with Wolverhampton Wanderers.”


Janine Smith, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said: “The CPS has received a file of evidence from Leicestershire Police relating to an incident in the early hours of 22 January.

“Following a review of the evidence, the CPS has authorised the police to charge Lee Tomlin and Billy Kee with inflicting grievous bodily harm without intent.”

It’s reported that Tomlin and Accrington Stanley player Billy Kee, who has also been charged with GBH, have been summoned to appear at Leicester Magistrates’ Court on September 18 to face the alleged charge.

An Accrington Stanley club statement confirmed Kee will also continue to be available for selection while the proceedings continue.

It didn't happen when he was with us so don't see why we keep harping on about it :bluescarf:

Ian, because the case itself is current and may affect his future and therefor our club. The information was put out there again this morning, so it was reported on here :ayatollah:

Agree with 'angelis1949' comment but assumed that was why both clubs were saying the two players would continue to be selected, if the manager chooses to do so ;)
