Sheffield Wednesday's Gary Madine jailed for 18 months for assault

Sheffield Wednesday striker Gary Madine has been jailed for 18 months after being found guilty of assault.

The sentence was handed down to the 23-year-old at Leeds Crown Court today after he was hit with the guilty verdict last month.

Madine was convicted of one charge of actual bodily harm and a charge of grievous bodily harm for punching two men in separate nightclub attacks last year.

The forward was initially granted bail, but was informed that a custodial sentence was likely.
