Police are investigating an altercation involving former Preston North End footballer Andre Green and a member of the public.

Officers were called after an incident in Raddel Lane near Warrington on Wednesday (April 1) in which a member of the public, Rob Bryan, reported a verbal altercation involving Green.

It is understood that the incident was in relation to ongoing discussions regarding a property Green had been renting from Mr Bryan - who owns property company RB Residences - during his spell at North End.

In August 2019, Green signed for North End from Aston Villa on a season-long loan deal.

The deal was cut short with Green signing for Charlton Athletic in January 2020 until the end of the season.

No arrests have taken place and enquiries are ongoing.

It is understood that Aston Villa, who Green is contracted to, were informed of the incident last Wednesday by Mr Bryan.
