Adam Johnson is set to be released from prison today, as his dad was seen driving away from his son's prison in the middle of the night.

The 31-year-old England international is due to leave Moorland prison near Doncaster, having served half of his six-year sentence.

His father David, who also acts as his agent, was pictured arriving at HMP Moorland in a Mercedes people carrier after midnight.

Johnson was jailed for grooming, kissing and touching a 15-year-old girl while playing for Sunderland.

But even after leaving prison, Johnson will reportedly not be able to see his daughter alone.

Former Manchester City flier Johnson will only be able to see Ayla, four, while with a social worker, according to The Sun.

Disgraced Johnson will also reportedly need to hand over his bank card to prevent him accessing paid-for porn sites, and could be instructed to surrender his phone at any stage.
