A man has pleaded guilty to attacking a former rugby league player with a glass at a nightclub, leaving him blinded.
Gareth Dean, 37, smashed a bottle in the face of Matthew Syron while in Revolucion de Cuba, on Call Lane in Leeds, on 27 December.
The victim, a former Leeds Rhinos academy graduate, who now lives in Australia, lost sight in both his eyes following the attack.
Dean, who appeared at Leeds Crown Court via video-link on Thursday, admitted one charge of grievous bodily harm and is due to be sentenced on 4 March.
