Sunderland's Adam Johnson has been sacked after pleading guilty to one count of sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl and one count of grooming.

“In light of Adam Johnson's guilty pleas, the club has today terminated his contract with immediate effect. The club will make no further comment,” Sunderland confirmed in a statement on the club's website.

The 28-year-old will stand trial in Bradford on Friday on two further counts of sexual activity with a child, which he has denied.

His trial is expected to last around two weeks.
