NRL player Josh Reynolds has been charged by police over an alleged domestic violence incident.
Police say a woman attended St George Police Station yesterday to report an alleged assault.
The 29-year-old suffered bruising to her right arm and left leg after allegedly being assaulted by Wests Tigers star Reynolds in September.
Police say Reynolds, 30, handed himself into police last night, where he was arrested.
He was later charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm (DV) and granted bail.
The NRL and Wests Tigers have both confirmed the five eighth plans to vigorously defend the charge.
In a statement, the NRL said both Reynolds and the club had been in communication with the competition’s Integrity Unit regarding the matter.
“The NRL takes any allegation of violence or disrespect towards women extremely seriously,” the NRL said.
“The Integrity Unit is seeking further information from NSW Police before determining any immediate action.”
Reynolds has spent the past two seasons with Wests Tigers after seven years with the Bulldogs.
The NRL and Wests Tigers both said they would be making no further comment.
Reynolds is due to appear at Sutherland Local Court next Wednesday.
