Rugby league player Zane Musgrove has had his sentence for property damage that he received following a fight with his girlfriend overturned on appeal.

The Rabbitohs forward pulled a gate from its hinges following an early-morning argument with his partner Candice Heise on July 8.

He was convicted in September, and that conviction was formally recorded. He was also fined $1100 and made to pay $500 to repair the gate.

Musgrove, 22, had driven on request to pick Ms Heise up from her friend's apartment in Zetland but, on arrival, she refused to leave.
