Jak Hickman - who was on loan at Hereford last season - has been transfer listed by Coventry City and fined two weeks wages following a drunken video in which he bragged about his wealth.

The 20-year-old said he was leaving the Sky Blues before subsequently placing a substance in his mouth. Hickman also said that shots he had bought were 'light change' and his 'pockets were heavy'.

Hickman later apologised after the video emerged on social media, saying it was disgraceful and 'he was disappointed in himself'.

A statement reads: "Coventry City can confirm it has concluded its investigation, following the video on social media of Under 23s player Jak Hickman.
“Hickman has been subject to a formal Club disciplinary procedure.
“Hickman has been given a fine of 2 weeks wages by Coventry City for bringing the Club into disrepute – this is the maximum permissible fine the Club is able to give according to Football Association rules for a player on a standard FA contract for a first offence.
“The club also reported the matter to the FA, and they advised us that they would not be taking any action against Hickman.
