Kenny-Dowall case returns to court

Sydney Roosters player Shaun Kenny-Dowall's domestic violence case is set to be mentioned in a Sydney court.

The Kiwi international and NRL premiership winner has been charged with 11 offences including common assault against his former partner Jessica Peris.

The offences allegedly occurred between October and June.

Kenny-Dowall, 27, pleaded not guilty to the charges in early August and his case will be mentioned in Waverley Local Court on Thursday.

The court case comes after the Kiwi international returned to the NRL in the final round following a lengthy lay-off to deal with personal issues.

Kenny-Dowall has been named to play in the Roosters do-or-die semi-final clash with the Bulldogs on Friday night at Alianz Stadium.
