Warriors chief executive Wayne Scurrah has confirmed winger Michael Crockett had been charged with sexual assault following an alleged incident in Sydney on August 6.

The investigation stemmed from a woman's complaint of sexual assault to Redfern police.

Crockett, who said last week he strenuously denied the allegation, flew to Sydney on Monday to be formally charged before being released on bail.

Mr Scurrah said there would be no further comment because the matter was now before the courts.

Crockett is due to return to training with the Vodafone Warriors on Tuesday afternoon.
