Yorkshire footballer arrested on drugs charges

Nathan Doyle, who is a former England under-20 player, was stopped by police at 1.25pm on Monday after he and two other men were seen acting suspiciously in an Audi car.

Officers who stopped the men on Osmaston Road in Derby found a substance in the vehicle that they believed to be the class A drug.

The 23-year-old midfielder and the two other men were interviewed and released on bail.

A spokeswoman for Derbyshire Police said: "Two men from Derby aged 24 and one from Hull who is 23 years old were interviewed and released on police bail pending further inquiries and analysis of the suspected drug."

Doyle was signed to Barnsley last year after leaving Hull City. In 2006 and 2007 he played on loan for Bradford City.
