Republic of Ireland midfielder Jeff Hendrick has been found not guilty of violent disorder by a jury at the Circuit Criminal Court in Dublin.
The 25-year-old had pleaded not guilty to the alleged offence outside a nightclub in Dublin in October 2013.
Sean Gillane, defending Hendrick, said the incident "was just drunk men shouting at each other and not a crime".
Hendrick's current club, Burnley, said they consider the matter now closed.
