Hawthorn AFL star Bradley Hill has been charged with assault for his part in an alleged altercation that occurred in Melbourne in January this year.

Hill, 22, was charged following an investigation into the January 24 incident by Victoria Police, which the club says the triple-premiership star fully co-operated with.

“Bradley has kept the club informed throughout this entire process,” Hawks football boss Chris Fagan said via a club statement on Tuesday night.

“The leadership group has already met on this matter and has decided that no sanction will be applied at this stage.

“The matter is now before the court and any sanction is in the hands of the judicial system.”
