Police have cautioned Newcastle player Jamie McClen for being drunk and disorderly on the city's Quayside after he was stopped early this morning.
The player (22), who has played in the last four games for the club, was crossing the Swing Bridge over the River Tyne with his brother, Steven, when they were arrested.
Steven McClen was charged with being drunk and disorderly, a Northumbria Police spokesman said. He is due to appear before Newcastle magistrates on February 21st.
The news comes just days after the club's Welsh striker, Craig Bellamy, was cautioned for common assault following an incident in the city's Quayside.
