A junior football club treasurer has appeared before magistrates charged with stealing from club funds for five years.

David Wilkinson, 40, of Platt Court, Windhill, Shipley, is accused of dishonestly taking an unknown value of money from Kings Park Juniors, between August 2002 and July 2007.

Wilkinson spoke only to confirm his name and address at the hearing in Bradford today.

He was bailed to appear at Bradford Magistrate's Court on February 27 ahead of a trial at crown court.
