Leeds and Rangers co-owner Jed York has been jailed in Ohio after being arrested for soliciting prostitution.

The 45-year-old, who is also the owner of the San Francisco 49ers, was convicted of disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools after pleading no contest to two charges.

In the Ohio legal system, a no contest plea means a defendant accepts a conviction without formally admitting guilt.

York was sentenced to one day in jail on each offence, to be served concurrently, and was given credit for time already served.

York was fined $150 for disorderly conduct and $1,000 for possessing criminal tools.

Court records show the case was brought by East Palestine Police Department and filed at Columbiana County Municipal Court on Monday.

York pleaded no contest to both charges at an arraignment hearing and was found guilty.
