David Goodwillie 'deal' collapses as Australian club perform u-turn

David Goodwillie's proposed move to Australian side Sorrento FC has been torn up, after the Perth club reacted to a backlash from fans.

The 34-year-old former Clyde, Dundee United and Aberdeen striker was found guilty of rape by a civil court in 2017 and in January 2022 controversially signed for Raith Rovers, but they were forced into a u-turn after staff quit the club, fans vowed to stay away, and main sponsor Val McDermid pulled funding.

Sorrento FC announced the arrival of former Blackburn Rovers star Goodwillie, but then confirmed that he now won't travel to Australia.
