Bradford City FC charity worker Sam McDonnell admits taking money for children's football camps.
A man who worked at a charity associated with Bradford City FC "abused his position" to steal £50,000 from its funds, a court has heard.
McDonnell, 24, was given a suspended prison sentence after admitting the fraud, and was ordered to pay compensation to the charity, which runs football activities and coaching sessions. However, Victoria Barker, prosecuting, said that after this was actioned in May 2021, the email was never changed back and McDonnell was able to transfer funds into his personal bank account.
McDonnell, who had no previous convictions, attended a disciplinary hearing and admitted stealing the charity’s money. He was dismissed and the police were informed. Recorder Palmer ordered McDonnell, who now has a new job, to pay £5,000 compensation at the rate of £1,000 a month and he must complete 300 hours of unpaid work.
