Bath and England fly-half Olly Barkley has had his court case for actual bodily harm adjourned.

Barkley, 26, was due to appear at Aylesbury Magistrates' Court for a committal hearing for his attack on Sky Sports producer Simon Cole at a wedding.

The alleged attack took place following a reception at Stowe School in Buckinghamshire last year.

At a previous hearing Barkley indicated a not guilty plea and opted for a crown court trial.

His solicitor sent a letter to the court asking for an adjournment because of his client's work commitments.

The case will now be heard on Thursday.

Barkley appeared for England during the 2007 World Cup in France and has earned 21 caps during his career.
