A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Town right-back Carlos Edwards after he failed to show for a court appearance relating to various driving offences. The 32-year-old is believed to be on holiday or visiting his family in Trinidad.

Edwards, who has admitted two counts of driving without third party insurance, driving without an MOT and driving without a licence by post but is yet to enter pleas against further charges of driving without an MOT and without a licence, was due to appear at South East Suffolk Magistrates’ Court yesterday.

The charges, which will see him banned from driving as they take him over 12 points, relate to incidents which took place in January.
