El Hadji Diouf has been fined £500 and ordered to pay the same amount in costs after pleading guilty to a charge of reckless behaviour, stemming from a spitting incident with an 11-year-old fan.
The Bolton forward was charged after Middlesbrough fan James Shields claimed he was hit by juice the player spat from his mouth after he was substituted in the 1-1 draw at the Riverside last November.
His case had been due to go to trial next month, and was listed for a pre-trial review yesterday, but solicitor Alan Walsh, in Diouf's absence, entered a guilty plea on his client's behalf at Teesside Magistrates's Court yesterday.
