Manchester City star Jack Grealish has been fined by a court after he admitted speeding in his £100,000 Range Rover.
The Birmingham-born midfielder was clocked by a mobile camera driving the car at 44mph in a 30mph zone in Wythall in Worcestershire last July, the Mirror reports. The England footballer did not appear at Worcester Magistrates' Court this morning (May 8), but his barrister entered a guilty plea on his behalf.
Barrister John Dye also said he had been 'instructed to apologise' by Grealish. He had also been facing a charge of failing to give information relating to the identification of the driver, but prosecutors asked for the charge to be dropped after his guilty plea to the speeding offence.

JPs fined the 28-year-old £666 and handed him five penalty points. He was also ordered to pay prosecution costs of £110 and a victim surcharge of £266, leaving him with a total fine of £1,042.
In 2020, Grealish was banned from driving for nine months and given an £82,499 fine for two counts of careless driving. The first offence occurred during the UK national Covid lockdown.
He crashed his car just a day after posting a video on social media asking for people to stay at home to protect the NHS during the pandemic. Grealish earns £270,000 per week at City and is regarded as one of the most in-demand footballers by sponsors.
He has lucrative endorsement deals with kit manufacturer Puma, a reported seven-figure contract with Gucci and recently became an ambassador for Pepsi, also worth an estimated seven-figures. Financial analysts predict that he will have earned more than £100m by the time he turns 30.
