Former Baltimore Ravens player Ray Rice has had his offence of domestic violence wiped from his record.

The 28-year-old was suspended indefinitely by the NFL last year after video footage of the player beating his then-fiancee Janay Palmer in a casino lift came to light.

According to TMZ, Rice struck a deal with prosecutors and now that he has completed a 12-month pre-trial intervention programme, Judge Michael A Donio has signed a dismissal order sent by the Atlantic County district attorney.

Rice is also believed to have paid a $125 (£80) fine.
