BOLTON Wanderers star Dean Moxey has denied to a London court that he was speeding in a Mercedes caught on camera.

The 29-year-old claims he had already returned the leased saloon and that somebody else must have been driving it.

The left-back is being prosecuted for failing to give information relating to the identification of the driver of the Mercedes C63 — snapped exceeding the limit in the London area on August 27 last year.

Exeter-born Moxey, who was signed on a free transfer from Premier League Crystal Palace at the start of the season, told Lavender Hill Magistrates Court in a letter he had already returned the vehicle around the time he moved from his former address in Surrey.

However, the court was told that he was still the registered keeper of the car when it was photographed over the limit — but failed to reply to two letters sent to his address.

Moxey, of Farington Lodge Gardens, Farington, says he leased the vehicle for 12 months from June 27, 2013.

In his letter he said: "I don't believe the car was anything to do with me at this time and Mercedes know I did not have anything to do with the car.”

The court has now ruled that Moxey's letter raises a “number of issues”.

The case has been adjourned until April 22 to give the player the opportunity to produce evidence he had returned the vehicle to the lease company before the speeding offence.
