Nile Ranger "Too Busy" to do Community Service

The troubled striker was released by Newcastle in March, a month before he admitted the common assault charge.

He was ordered to complete 120 hours of community service and nine months supervision by Newcastle Magistrates, but the 22-year-old said he keeps missing probation meetings because he is travelling across the country to speak to potential new clubs.

Ranger currently earns just £30 a day and Highbury Corner Magistrates have agreed to change the punishment to the £5,000 fine so that he can find employment as soon as possible.

One possible destination for the forward is League One side Swindon Town, who have been linked with moves for Millwall player Dany N'Guessan and Ranger.

"Our search for a striker continues," Robins chairman Jed McCrory told the Swindon Advertiser.

"We're hoping to bring one in this week to strengthen the front line, as we still only have two and most teams have four.

"We've spoken to various strikers over the potential of coming and strengthening the club, each with their own different backgrounds and unique individual abilities.

"We're trying to conclude the deals as quickly as possible, but we're moving sensibly to ensure they are the right type of strikers who will score the goals to aid our push for promotion this year."

 

Any club that signs this mug needs their bumps feeling.

 

It's hard to believe someone would still employ him.

 

I can see a Nile Ranger and Marlon King strikeforce popping up somewhere at some point.

 

Isn't he still on a rape charge
