Former Liverpool and Bournemouth player Jordon Ibe has been fined and ordered to complete community-based penalties after assaulting his former girlfriend outside her home in Lambeth, London.

Ibe, 30, admitted attacking Amie Mayson during an argument in December. He grabbed her hair and pulled a braid from her head, leaving her with a bald patch.

The court imposed a 12-month community order, 80 hours of unpaid community service and 27 days of rehabilitation activity. Ibe was also fined £764 and avoided a prison sentence.

“I made serious mistakes. I know what I did was wrong and I deeply regret it. I cannot change the past, but I will take responsibility for my actions going forward,” Ibe said in court.

He played 58 matches for Liverpool and 92 for Bournemouth. He is now without a club after his contract with Bulgarian side Lokomotiv Sofia expired this summer.
