A former professional footballer from Thurrock, Essex, is due in court accused of a string of sex offences.

Tyrell Robinson, 22, of South Ockendon, has been charged with engaging in penetrative sexual activity with a child, one count of making an indecent image of a child and two counts of distributing an indecent image of a child.

The 22-year-old played for League Two side Bradford City before being sacked by the club over the accusations in February this year.

He appeared at Bradford Magistrates’ Court on June 2 via a Skype link where he signalled to confirm his name, date of birth and address.
