Ex-Arsenal starlet Jaydon Thorbourne took a woman’s credit card as she slept in their hotel room and ran up a £3 700 bill.

They had been spending the night at the four-star Dorsett City Hotel in Aldgate, central London, while he tried to continue the “certain lifestyle” he once had, Westminster magistrates’ court heard.

He was previously locked up for breaching a suspended sentence for similar offences.

Thorbourne, of Hornsey, North London, admitted fraud and was jailed for 26 weeks.

The left-back trained with Arsenal stars at 18 before a spell with Crystal Palace but his career was wrecked by injury.
