Two Charlton Athletic footballers appeared in court on Thursday over an alleged sexual assault on a British woman in Ibiza.

Reeco Hackett-Fairchild and Karlan Ahearne-Grant, both aged 20, were arrested on Tuesday after the parents of a 19-year-old holidaymaker took her to police to lodge a formal complaint.

The teenager was allegedly assaulted at a hotel in Cala de Bou, near the resort of San Antonio.

Hackett-Fairchild and Ahearne-Grant were pictured in handcuffs being led to a courthouse on the Spanish island.

A third man, not believed to be a footballer, has also been arrested in connection with the alleged incident, but did not appear in court with the pair in Ibiza.

Ahearne-Grant, who was born in Greenwich, south east London, is a forward who signed with Charlton as a 17-year-old in September 2014.

Hackett-Fairchild, also a forward, joined the Addicks from Dagenham and Redbridge in 2016.
