A professional footballer has admitted his involvement in a plot to smuggle £600,000 worth of drugs from Thailand into the UK.
Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, 34, was arrested after 60kg (9.44st) of cannabis was found in suitcases arriving at London Stansted Airport, Essex, on 2 September.
He was sacked by Scottish club Greenock Morton after being charged, having previously played for Aberdeen, Ipswich Town, Bristol City and England at youth level.
The father-of-two will be sentenced at Chelmsford Crown Court at a later date.
