EX Huddersfield Giants prop Keith Mason has given evidence his case against for unfair dismissal.

The player is suing the club after he was sacked in October after a picture of a naked bottom was posted on his Twitter account.

Even though the club accepted his girlfriend had done it, he was still dismissed for not removing it quick enough.

Mason has the support of boxing star Joe Calzaghe who is sitting in the public gallery at Leeds High Court.

Mason has said he believed the timing of the sacking was suspicious as the club signed Craig Kopczak and Stuart Fielden and needed space in their salary cap.

The hearing continues.
