Less than a week before he's due to appear in court on drug and assault charges, former NRL star Blake Ferguson has spoken out about his ordeal after spending 29 days in a Japanese police station.
Ex- league ace Ferguson was arrested on December 30, 2021, after allegedly beating a fellow patron at a Tokyo restaurant, only for police to then reportedly find cocaine in his possession following a search. The player has said he will be pleading guilty.
The ex-Parramatta Eels and Sydney Roosters staple was due to begin a career in rugby union last month but had his AU$1.5million (£800,000) contract with Green Rockets Tokatsu terminated before he could debut.
