Leeds United midfielder Brenden Aaronson has been banned from driving after speeding in Harrogate.
Aaronson, 23, of Victoria Avenue, was caught speeding at 37 miles per hour in a Mercedes-AMG on the A6040 Knaresborough Road near the Stray on March 12, 2023. The speed limit for the road is 30 mph.
He admitted the offence in September last year.
A hearing was held at Harrogate Magistrates Court this morning, but Aaronson was not present.
Magistrates ordered the United States international to pay a £666 fine, £266 surcharge and £90 in court costs.
Aaronson already had 10 points on his licence, which was endorsed with a further three points and he was disqualified from driving for six months.
