Police arrest Gold Coast Suns player
Football star Harley Bennell has been charged with disorderly conduct following an incident on New Year's Eve.
The Gold Coast Suns midfielder was reportedly with friends when a large fight broke out during local New Year's Eve celebrations on the Mandurah foreshore, south of Perth.
Mr Bennell was arrested at the scene about 2am and taken to Mandurah police station where he was charged before being bailed early this morning.
Bennell was picked number 2 by the Gold Coast Suns in 2010 draft, after playing WAFL with Peel Thunder Football Club.
In 2012 he played every game during the season and finished runner-up to Gary Ablett in the club championship.
A spokesperson from the Gold Coast Suns confirmed that Harley Bennell was involved in a "minor incident while celebrating New Year's Eve".
"As it is a police matter we are unable to make any further comment," they said.
