London: Former Arsenal winger Jay Emmanuel-Thomas has been jailed for four years for his involvement in a £600,000 ($812,000) drug smuggling plot after a court heard his financial difficulties after a period out of contract led to a 'catastrophic error of judgment'.

Emmanuel-Thomas was sacked by William Hill Championship side Morton after his arrest last year. Prosecutor David Josse KC told Chelmsford Crown Court the 'interception' of the two women - Emmanuel-Thomas's girlfriend and her friend - happened at the said it 'became apparent this defendant, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, had been involved in their recruitment to travel to Thailand'.
