New court date set for King's Lynn Town footballer on drug charge

A King's Lynn Town footballer will return to court early next month to face a drug supply charge.

Norwich Crown Court officials have today confirmed a new hearing date in the case of defender Rory McAuley.

The 31-year-old had been due to appear before the court on Monday charged with conspiring to supply a class A drug and possession of criminal property.

But, after a planned hearing did not take place that day, officials say the case will now be heard on July 2.

McAuley, of George Fox Way, Norwich, is currently on bail and has been suspended from all football related activities by his club.
