So here you are...

....at a massive Premier League club less than one year into a five year contract. The opportunity is there to make yourself a Geordie hero. You are young and talented. The world is your oyster, the sky is the limit and what do you go and do?

Get yourself involved in a situation where a man is beaten senseless to the point of unconsciousness. You are now charged with two counts of common assault and two further counts of ABH. That's some going by anyone's standards.

Some would say you are are acting like an England international before your time...

Congratulations Nile Ranger. Try not to drop the soap.
