The father of former England footballer Adam Johnson said it was good to have his son home after his release from prison.

The former Middlesbrough, Manchester City and Sunderland star was jailed for six years in 2016 for engaging in sexual activity with a 15-year-old fan.

Johnson's father Dave spoke to reporters outside his 31-year-old son's house in Castle Eden, County Durham.

This might divide opinion, I`m certainly for the rehabilitation of ex offenders however two years of a six year sentence is a bit poor

Not that a 15 year old can these days be as white as a Angel so I wouldn't throw the P word at him although he has broken UK law

Do not think any club will come near him due to negative publicity and thus sponsorship and revenue decrease

Be interested to hear some views...
Mixed feelings on this one, 6 years was about right but only serving a 3rd of the sentence seems a bit light. His real sentence is probably the end of his career though, he should not be picked up by any club and that should serve as his ultimate punishment.
