Police are continuing to investigate allegations of financial impropriety at Leeds Ladies FC after one of two suspects was released without charge.

Former club chairman Gary Cooper and Nicola Bright, ex-treasurer, were arrested in May 2017 over the fraud claims, Leeds Ladies FC confirmed last year.

A West Yorkshire Police spokesman confirmed this week that one of those arrested would not face any further action, but the second remains under investigation as enquiries continue.
