Marlon King released from jail

Jamaican international and former Wigan Athletic footballer Marlon King has been released from jail after serving time for sexually assaulting a woman in a London night club.

King received an 18-month sentence in October 2009 after being found guilty of sexual assault and causing actual bodily harm.

His agent Tony Finnigan has vowed to find a new club for the striker while King's former chairman at Wigan, Dave Whelan, who had said king should never play football again, claimed he has now forgiven the player.

King, whose former clubs include Nottingham Forest, Watford, Middlesbrough and Gillingham was on loan from Wigan to Hull City when he sexually assaulted the woman in December 2008.
