Josh Reynolds pleads not guilty to assault

Wests Tigers NRL star Josh Reynolds has pleaded not guilty to a charge relating to an alleged domestic violence incident.

The 30-year-old appeared on Wednesday at Sutherland Local Court where his lawyer Dan McGirr entered a plea of not guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm against partner Arabella Del Busso in Caringbah South in September.

Mr McGirr told magistrate Sharon Freund that Reynolds, who has no criminal history, would contest an apprehended violence order in place.

He also said the defence would draw upon expert evidence in relation to bruising and medication purportedly taken by Ms Del Busso.

"There's lots of credibility witnesses in this case," he told the court.

In a statement to AAP, NSW Police last week said a woman about 2pm on December 11 attended St George Police Station to report an assault.

Reynolds went to the station about 9.40pm where he was arrested and charged over the incident.

"Police will allege on 12 September, the 29-year-old woman suffered bruising to her right arm and left leg after allegedly being assaulted by a 30-year-old man," the statement read.

He remains on bail and will next appear at Sutherland Local Court on July 23.

The NRL last week said it was working with Wests Tigers and the Integrity Unit to determine whether Reynolds be stood down from club duties.

Earlier this year the NRL enacted a "no fault" stand-down policy, allowing CEO Todd Greenberg to use his discretion to suspend players charged with criminal offences, particularly those involving women and children.
