Bristol Rovers footballer Jevani Brown has been fined £5,000 for assaulting one woman and using threatening behaviour to another outside a nightclub in Exeter. The striker learnt of his punishment at Exeter Magistrates Court on Friday morning with alcohol blamed as playing “a significant part” in the altercation.
Brown was suspended by Exeter City when the assault occurred in February and pleaded guilty to one count of assault during an initial hearing in March. The 28-year-old has since agreed to sign for Rovers on a two-year deal.
He admitted spitting at a woman after she intervened while he argued with bouncers outside the Vaults nightclub.
