Sunderland's Adam Johnson pleads guilty to one count of sexual activity with a child and also admits to a further count of grooming, having previously denied the charges.

Sunderland midfielder Adam Johnson has pleaded guilty to one count of sexual activity with a child and a further count of grooming.

The 28-year-old, who is currently on trial at Bradford Crown Court, previously denied three counts of sexual activity with a child and one count of grooming.

However, Johnson has now altered his plea on a couple of those charges, although he has continued to deny the other two offences of sexual activity with a girl under the age of 16.

Johnson has been capped by England on 12 occasions, the last of which came back in 2012.
