BRISBANE midfielder Albert Proud has been sentenced to 100 hours community service and forced to pay $8000 in compensation by a Queensland court after pleading guilty to assault charges arising from an incident at a nightclub on the Gold Coast in February this year.
Proud will also undertake a court imposed three-month Intensive Correctional Order.
Under the terms of the order Proud has to report regularly to police and be continually blood tested
The 20-year-old was originally disciplined by the Lions who hit Proud with a heavy fine, club suspension and a directive to complete a series of alcohol and anger management related counselling courses for glassing one woman and grabbing and causing bruises to another.
A statement released by the club on Tuesday night said: "We also note that Albert has apologised unreservedly to the two female victims involved and deeply regrets the embarrassment caused to the Brisbane Lions Football Club and its members and supporters by his alcohol-related actions."
"The Lions are pleased to see this regrettable case is finally resolved with the full co-operation of the club and the player involved, and believes it is a timely reminder to all young Australians about the serious responsibilities surrounding alcohol consumption."
"The club now wishes the two victims involved a speedy and complete recovery."
