Yorwerths addiction to alcohol, drugs and gambling sees him face debts of up to 35,000.He told The Sun: I had a pre-hearing at Wembley to give my version of events about the night the testers came to my house.Id slept for one hour, was stinking of booze and Id used cocaine the night before.“Im sitting there in a waistcoat and a Dickie Bow thinking to myself, ‘I need help here’.What am I going to do now? I havent got any training, Ive never done anything else.Yorwerths career spiralled out of control after avoiding FA drug testers when they knocked on his door on September 25, two days after a crazy weekend in Peterborough.He said: Wed had a game on the Saturday, I wasnt in the team and knew we had to play in this crappy Under-21s game on the Monday that no one likes to play in.

Me and some mates ended up going out, got too drunk and caused a scene.We went back to my friends apartment being idiots, smashing plates on the floor, smashed the TV up and threw pint glasses across the room.I woke up on Sunday with the realisation that wed trashed an apartment and Id put it on social media.I got in the car and had talkSPORT on and they were talking about it. I lost my way from there and went straight to the pub and did drugs.Yorwerth was fined two weeks wages for his actions and recalled the time FA drug testers came to his home.He added: There was a knock at the door at about 9.30pm. I went to the door and saw there were two guys there, saw they were from the FA and had a bag, and I backed off straight away.2

Josh Yorwerth played against Manchester United and Wayne Rooney in 2015

They knocked for an hour-and-a-half, went away for 20 minutes then knocked again. I was in so much shock and panic. I thought, Thats two years suspended now with cocaine use.I went into training as normal. I thought they wouldnt have enough evidence to prove it was me at the door. But nine days later I was called in by the manager (Steve Evans).Yorwerth, whose final Peterborough appearance came in a 4-2 win over Gillingham in September, has been to rehab and is on anti-depressants. He only played three times for Posh after signing for an undisclosed fee from Crawley last summer.Yorwerth is hoping to save his career with an appeal referring to mental health.He said: I want to get this appeal sorted, get it done and then finally know theres no coming back from it.Then Ill come into the realisation of what Im going to do.
