Troubled Suns player Harley Bennell charged with disorderly behaviour, likely to have played last Gold Coast game
There's no way the Suns keep him after this. He'll be traded.
TROUBLED Suns player Harley Bennell is almost certain to have played his last game for the Gold Coast following an alleged incident in Surfers Paradise on the weekend.
Police sources allege Bennell was charged with disorderly behaviour after an argument with a security guard outside a nightclub.
Bennell allegedly “slapped a cigarette out of a bouncer’s hand” and later recorded a high blood-alcohol reading.
Court checks this morning reveal the alleged offence has yet to be listed with the registry at the Southport Magistrate’s Court.
But the Suns managers are aware of the incident and began holding crisis talks this morning about Bennell’s future.
They are concerned about his welfare and making arrangements for staff to visit him.
Bennell, 23, missed the Suns’ last match of 2015 against Sydney on the weekend after hurting his calf muscle.
A club spokesman told the Bulletin: “The club has just been informed of the matter. It hasn’t received any information from Bennell. We are trying to make contact with him.”
Bennell in July apologised to Coast fans about his drug use after pictures of him with drugs and strippers in a Tasmanian hotel room were splashed across News Limited papers.
There's no way the Suns keep him after this. He'll be traded.
