Footballer Ched Evans, 25, will train with Sheffield United this week, less than a month after leaving prison, according to the BBC, amid ongoing speculation that the club will offer him a permanent contract.
Evans was released from prison on 17 October, and said he wanted a "second chance" in an online video posted a few days later.
The video, in which he failed to apologise to his victim, was part of a campaign run by his family to repair his public reputation by arguing that he was wrongly convicted – although the player's aunt has said he deserved his conviction.
The father of Evans' victim has said that she has had to leave her hometown and change her identity twice.
