Former England footballer Adam Johnson has been found guilty at Bradford Crown Court of one count of sexual activity with a child.
The 28-year-old has previously pleaded guilty to grooming a 15-year-old girl and one charge of sexual activity with her.
Earlier he was found not guilty of one count of sexual activity with a child.
Sunderland Football Club has denied knowing that Adam Johnson was going to admit kissing a 15-year-old girl.
During his trial, the jury was told Johnson confessed to kissing the girl to the club's chief executive Margaret Byrne during a meeting in May 2015, but was still allowed to play for the team.
Johnson changed his plea on the first day of the trial, but the club said claims it knew he was going to do this was "utterly without foundation and is refuted in the strongest possible terms".
A club statement said: "The club only became aware of the change of plea, in relation to two of the four counts on the indictment, on the first day of the trial, after hearing it reported through the media. The club was not advised in advance that Mr Johnson would plead guilty to any offence.
"Had the club known that Mr Johnson intended to plead guilty to any of these charges, then his employment would have been terminated immediately.
"Indeed, upon learning of the guilty plea on February 11, 2016, the club acted quickly and decisively in terminating Adam Johnson’s contract without notice."
Sunderland Football Club continued to face questions today about what they knew and when leading up to Adam Johnson's trial.
Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce says he was told that Adam Johnson would plead not guilty at this court case.
Pressure is mounting on Sunderland to explain why they played former winger Adam Johnson following his arrest.
