Cronulla Sharks player Isaac Gordon has pleaded guilty to assaulting his former girlfriend, who was seven months pregnant at the time.
Gordon appeared at Sutherland Local Court on Wednesday and agreed to the plea in exchange for the Crown withdrawing a more serious charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
The 25-year-old, wearing a dark suit and white shirt, was also handed a 12-month apprehended violence order (AVO).
The court heard that Gordon returned home after a booze-fuelled night and became involved in a confrontation with Karen Lee Davison, who has since given birth to their child.
A request by Gordon's legal counsel that the magistrate not record a conviction for the common assault was denied.
Gordon was given an 18-month good behaviour bond.
