Gary Madine facing jail sentence.

Former Coventry City loan striker Gary Madine is facing a jail sentence after being found guilty of two separate nightclub attacks in Sheffield.

Madine, now playing for Championship side Sheffield Wednesday, was found guilty of causing Reece Hall grievous bodily harm  and guilty of inflicting bodily harm on Daniel Beresford in a week-long trial.

The striker has not appeared for The Owls this season due to the trial, and the judge has warned a jail sentence is “very likely.”

Judge Rodney Jameson QC granted Madine bail but said: “You must understand that an immediate custodial sentence is very likely.”

The court heard the 23 year old, originally from Gateshead, already had a conviction for knocking out a man in Carlisle after pleading guilty to the attack in February 2010.

In his short spell at The Ricoh Arena on loan from Carlisle United, Madine made 9 appearances, failing to score.
