Youngster suspended after assaulting women
Rotherham suspended new signing Simon Lenighan yesterday after his conviction for assaulting three women in February.
The 21-year-old former Leeds midfielder, who only joined the Millers last week, on Thursday pleaded guilty to assaulting the women — including headbutting one — while on a night out in February.
Lenighan avoided jail but was sentenced to a community order for 12 months, including 150 hours of unpaid work, and ordered to pay damages.
