A domestic abuse brute who assaulted his former Scotland International partner has parted ways with the club he signed for just weeks ago. Paul Tansey, 37, parted ways with East of Scotland League side Whitehill Welfare, after joining them in July.
Tansey, the brother of former Scotland star Leigh Griffiths, abused Celtic's Lisa Robertson during a 10-month long tirade. After his conviction in May, he was sacked by his then-club Penicuik Athletic.
However, East of Scotland division one side Whitehill quietly snapped up the brute during the summer. The move sparked backlash in the community of Rosewell, where the Midlothian club are based, and led to a petition by locals, calling for Tansey's contract to be terminated.
