Stoke City have confirmed that striker Ricardo Fuller was arrested on suspicion of assault following an incident at a nightclub.

The 30-year-old Jamaica international was detained in the early hours of Sunday morning following an incident at a venue in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent.

Fuller was part of the Potters side that defeated Blackburn Rovers 3-0 at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

He was bailed by Staffordshire Police and is due to report back to them next month.

"The club can confirm that Fuller was arrested in the early hours of Sunday morning following an incident in a nightclub," confirmed a brief club statement.

"We will be making no further comment at this time."

Fuller has scored five goals in 25 appearances for the Potters this season.
