Eels Statement on Mitch Allgood

Today Parramatta Eels forward Mitchell Allgood has pleaded guilty to the charge of mid-range driving under the influence of alcohol.

The case has been adjourned until December 18.

Following a thorough internal investigation, Allgood has incurred a fine, the proceeds of which will be donated to the charity of his choice. He will also be expected to complete a driving offenders course.
