A man who was filmed throwing a chair in the direction of a woman during a 'shameful' poolside brawl has been identified as Oldham Athletic striker Kian Harratt, according to reports.
It has been an eventful month for Harratt, who helped Oldham secure promotion to League Two on June 1 after he scored an extra-time winner in their 3-2 victory over Southend.
The 23-year-old has since jetted off to the island of Ibiza for a post-season holiday with friends.
But earlier this week, Harratt was allegedly involved in a poolside brawl, with the Daily Mail reporting that he 'hurled a chair in the direction of a middle-aged woman who was trying to break up a brawl between his friends and another group of holidaymakers.'

After being hit by the object, the woman collapsed to the ground as tempers continued to flare at the Marco Polo Hotel in San Antonio.
As the footage went viral online, one of the men who was confronted by Harratt's group at the hotel has opened up on the incident in a Facebook post.
Brandon Watkins, from Nuneaton, described the scene.
"Five lads came to our hotel being nobs around the pool splashing people throwing balls at women and one lad says 'what are you looking at' so he approaches me and I drop him," he began.
"They then start throwing chairs because they couldn't fight and everyone knows how slippy it is round a pool so stopping chairs hitting us I slip in the pool and that's what went viral."
Watkins added: "If they let me get back out the pool or got in with me then they would have been slapped again but they didn't they got kicked out. Everyone sat around the pool after was coming up to us shaking our hands and buying us drinks because the lads were b******s."
A clip of the altercation has also been reposted by the footballer on his TikTok account, according to the Mail. He has also shared various pictures of himself in Ibiza.
Harratt has been involved in a number of misdemeanours in the past.
While at Huddersfield Town, the 23-year-old was banned from the game for four months during the 2023/24 season after placing 484 bets on matches over a three-year period.
He was fined £3,200, with 36 of the bets being on Huddersfield games, although Harratt insisted he was not in the matchday squad for any of them.
Away from football and Harratt was fined £1,000 by police after he was caught poaching in North Yorkshire last year. The Leeds United youth product was also convicted of poaching at a farm in East Yorkshire in 2022 and fined £830, plus £233 costs.
