BRISBANE Lions rookie Reuben William has been caught drink driving, failing a random breath test on Monday morning.

The 19-year-old, driving on a probationary license, recorded a blood alcohol reading of 0.031.

Queensland law requires a reading of 0.00 for probationary license holders.

Williams was on a scheduled day off and informed Lions general manager of football David Noble shortly after the incident.

William will appear in court in the coming weeks.

The rebounding defender has played three senior games, all last year, and been hampered by a number of injuries in 2017.
