A man has been charged with assault after allegedly kicking another Australian Rules football player in the head during a game on August 19.

The Ipswich Eagles and Redcliffe Tigers were playing their division three semi-final at Limestone Park when 20-year-old Josiah Dantel from the Tigers was knocked to the ground.

While he was on the ground, it is alleged Eagles player Liam Tudor kicked him in the head.

Police laid the charges on Thursday after a complaint was made relating to the assault.

Nineteen-year-old Tudor was charged with one count of assault occasioning bodily harm, and is expected to appear at the Ipswich Magistrates Court on September 15.

Following the match, Dantel's opponent was charged with kicking and handed a 20-year ban from the sport by an AFL Queensland tribunal.
