An Oldham Athletic player "feels terrible" after footage of a violent incident at an Ibiza hotel was shared widely on social media.

Kian Harratt, who has played for the club since March, was filmed at the hotel, understood to be in the San Antonio area, with a group of males, who can be seen arguing with other holidaymakers in videos shared to Instagram and TikTok.

The clips finish after a chair is thrown which hits a woman, who falls to the floor.

Since the footage was shared, Harratt has shared his own TikTok in which he said he was "very apologetic" after the incident.
