Canberra Raiders player Bronx Goodwin has been charged with two counts of assault, while Todd Carney has been cleared of any charge.

Both players were interviewed by police, with the complaint against Carney dropped.

Carney was alleged to have urinated on a patron at a Canberra pub in the early hours of Monday.

“A 22-year-old man from Bruce was... interviewed in relation to an allegation of assault,” a police statement said.

“That investigation is concluded as the complaint has been withdrawn.”

Goodwin will be summonsed to appear in ACT Magistrates at a later date to face his assault charges.

The pair will both continue to be suspended by the club pending an internal investigation.

“ACT policing has concluded their investigation in regards to the weekend’s incidents, and the Raiders will now begin deciding on a course of action internally,” Raiders CEO Don Furner said.

“At this stage both Bronx and Todd will remain suspended by the club, and their futures will be decided following consultation with the Raiders board, coaching staff and playing group.

“The Raiders take the issue of off-field behaviour very seriously, and will assess the situation involving both Bronx and Todd before deciding on any further action.”

Carney has been involved in several off-field incidents during his time at the Raiders.
