England flyhalf Danny Cipriani has been arrested and charged with assault after an incident at a Jersey nightclub on Wednesday.

Gloucester’s new signing was arrested in the early hours of Wednesday morning, with police saying he had been charged with common assault, larceny, assault on police, resisting arrest and being disorderly on licensed premises.

The 30-year-old, who only recently returned to the international fold, has been remanded in custody until a hearing on Thursday.

Gloucester Rugby said it was ‘aware of the incident’ and will make a further announcement in due course.
