The court was told the England winger was caught speeding in Worcestershire while driving a Range Rover Sport on the morning of July 17, 2023.

Prosecutor Andy Saunders said the vehicle was caught by a mobile speed camera travelling on Station Road, Wythall, but there were no other aggravating factors.

A charge of failing to give information to the police relating to the identification of the driver was withdrawn.

Grealish’s barrister, John Dye, said of his client: “Mr Grealish means no discourtesy by not attending.

“I am instructed to enter a guilty plea on his behalf in relation to speeding.”

After confirming that the maximum penalty for the offence was £1,000, reduced to £666 after a guilty plea, Mr Dye told the court: “He can afford to pay that figure.

“I am asked to apologize on his behalf. It was a mistake.”

The court was told Grealish had a full, clean driving license at the time of the speeding offence.
