SAINTS star Nathan Redmond has been fined and banned from the roads after being caught speeding in Southampton.
It comes after the 24-year-old midfielder, whose address was listed as Copper Beech Close, Dorridge, West Midlands, was caught doing 62mph in his 2018 Range Rover – prices for which starts at around £80,000 – along the 40mph The Avenue on July 15.
Redmond, who appeared before magistrates in Aldershot on Tuesday after pleading guilty at a previous hearing, was fined £666, which works out as around 1% of his reported £60,000 weekly wage, and was banned from the road for 28 days.
Magistrates also ordered him to pay £85 in cost and a £66 victim surcharge.
The maximum possible penalty Redmond could have received would have been a £1,000 fine and a 28-day ban, despite his income.
The penalties for Redmond come less than two months after fellow Saints players Mario Lemina and Sofiane Boufal – currently on loan – were also in the courts for motoring offences.
As previously reported, Lemina was handed a ‘UK record speeding fine’ of £96,000, but it was reduced to just £2,000 after it was realised the court had made a mistake.
Lemina, 25, admitted three counts of failing to identify the driver of a car after it was heard his brother and cousin were visiting and could have been behind the wheel of his 370bhp Mercedes-AMG 4matic yellow night edition.
Three charges of speeding – driving at 95mph on a dual carriageway and twice driving at 60mph in a temporary 40mph speed limit – were dropped.
Meanwhile, Boufal, 24, was was fined £220 and ordered to pay a £30 victim surcharge and £85 costs. He was captured by a fixed camera on the A33 Redbridge Road on March 4, while driving a 66-reg Porsche at 46 mph in a 40mph zone.
