England and Manchester City star Jack Grealish fined £666 for speeding in Range Rover Sport

Jack Grealish has been fined £666 for speeding in Worcestershire in July last year.

The England and Manchester City football star was not in court on Wednesday but pleaded guilty through his barrister.

The 28-year-old, of Barnt Green, Worcestershire, was also ordered to pay £110 in court costs and a victim surcharge of £266, leaving him with a total bill of £1,042.

The court was told Grealish was caught speeding by a mobile speed camera on Station Road, Wythall, while driving a Range Rover Sport on the morning of July 17 2023.

A charge of failing to give information to the police relating to the identification of the driver was withdrawn.

Grealish’s barrister, John Dye, said of his client: “Mr Grealish means no discourtesy by not attending.

“I am instructed to enter a guilty plea on his behalf in relation to speeding.”

After confirming that the maximum penalty for the offence was £1,000, reduced to £666 after a guilty plea, Mr Dye told the court: “He can afford to pay that figure.

“I am asked to apologise on his behalf. It was a mistake.”

Former Aston Villa star Grealish joined City on a six-year deal in August 2021 for a then-record transfer fee for a British club of around £100 million.

Grealish, who made his England debut in September 2020, is reported to earn around £300,000-a-week and has scored three goals in 20 Premier League appearances so far this season.
