Former Fremantle Docker Shane Yarran has been acquitted of an unlawful wounding charge, with prosecutors admitting they didn’t have enough evidence to prove it.

The 28-year-old was due to face trial today, accused of attacking a man outside a tavern in Camillo in July, 2015.

But, instead, police prosecutors said there wasn’t a reasonable prospect of him being convicted.

Outside court, Yarran’s lawyer Luka Margaretic said he knew the charge wouldn’t be successful.

“This man lost a football career which has been a very sad situation.”

WA Police have been ordered to pay the former footballer’s court costs, totalling $5,500.

It’s his second acquittal in just over 6 months; in August, he was cleared of assaulting his partner.

Yarran played for Subiaco before being recruited by Fremantle in 2015.
