Newcastle United and Wales' striker Craig Bellamy has been fined £750 after admitting to using threatening, abusive and/or insulting behaviour outside a Cardiff nightclub back in March.

Bellamy appeared at Cardiff Magistrates Court on Tuesday where he pleaded guilty to the charges of abuse. The charges of racially aggravated behaviour had been dropped in an earlier hearing.

24-year-old Bellamy admitted to being drunk and then abusive after he had been thrown out of a bar in the early hours of 24th March this year.

NUFCNET reported that Deputy District Judge Anthony Smith Jones told Craig that he had "let himself down" as he was such a "role model".
