Ched Evans has apologised to the woman he raped for the first time today after a deal to sign for Oldham Athletic collapsed at the last minute.
But the disgraced striker, 26, maintains he is 'innocent' of attacking her in a Rhyl hotel room in 2011 and will appeal against the conviction because he believes the sex was consensual.
His comments came minutes after Oldham Athletic scrapped a deal to sign him after a director was allegedly told his own daughter would be raped if the striker joined the club.
