Paddy Jackson has moved to France with his girlfriend and dog.
The rugby player has begun a fresh start in Perpignan after his highly publicised rape trial last March.
The Belfast native was found not guilty of rape, however, the IRFU decided not to keep him on the Irish rugby or his home team Ulster after his behaviour was deemed unacceptable.
Now Paddy looks happy with “loyal girlfriend” Laura McCrea, who just qualified as a solicitor from Queens University..
Laura has been sharing photos on her Instagram page since the couple moved over with their dog Parker.
According to reports Paddy got his new pup after he was acquited in the trial, and he also reunited with Laura, who he had dated before he was charged.
His canine companion turned one in August and he is a regular feature by Paddy’s side along with his loving girlfriend Laura.
His solicitor girlfriend also shared a photo of a rugby reunion in France, where Stuart Olding (who was also on trial) can be seen enjoying Paddy’s company once again.
Paddy now has a two-year contract with Perpignan’s rugby team.
