London, July 23 (ANI): Premier League club Stoke City's football star Ryan Shotton has been indicted with assault charges following a fracas near a nightclub, which left a man needing stitches on his head.
Shotton, who was the club's Young Player Of The Year last season, will appear before magistrates on Friday.
The 6ft 3in long-throw ace is alleged to have punched his victim after a row at the Pink Night Club in the city's Hanley area.
"Ryan Shotton has been charged with assault by beating and will appear at Stoke Magistrates' Court on July 27," The Sun quoted Vinny Bolina of the West Midlands Crown Prosecution Service, as saying.
A police spokesman said: "A 23-year-old man has been charged after an altercation at 2.30am on Sunday June 24.
"Three men were involved, one of whom sustained a minor head injury and was treated at the scene by paramedics. The third man was released without charge," the spokesman added. (ANI)
