Staff at the Animal Education Centre in East Park found the injured wallaby on Friday 23 February.

She was put to sleep by a vet and the joey she was carrying also died.

A post-mortem examination carried out today found an air pellet lodged in the animal's skull which it's thought may have been there for over a week.

Jolley says he's comfortable with the club's decision and says Wilkinson knows the players and the staff well.
