Ex-Manchester City Elite Development Squad captain George Glendon has appeared in court accused of raping a woman.
The 21-year-old was present at Grimsby Magistrates' Court on Tuesday and granted bail on the condition he does not contact the complainant.
Glendon is accused of rape on February 21 last year.
He moved to Fleetwood Town on loan earlier this season before signing permanently in January.
The League One club had not been made aware of the matter when he completed the switch from City to Highbury.
