A holidaymaker recorded throwing a chair that struck a woman in the face during a disgraceful Ibiza poolside fight is English professional footballer Kian Harratt, MailOnline can reveal.

Oldham Athletic striker Harratt, 23, is seen tossing the furniture towards a middle-aged woman who was attempting to stop a brawl between his friends and another group of British holidaymakers.

After being hit the woman collapses to the ground holding her face while the other group fall into the pool and topless Harratt retreats out of shot.

Brandon Watkins from Nuneaton, who was among those confronted by Harratt’s group at the Marco Polo Hotel in San Antonio, detailed the incident in a Facebook post.

He wrote: ‘Five lads came to our hotel being nobs around the pool splashing people throwing balls at women and one lad says ‘what are you looking at’ so he approaches me and I drop him… they then start throwing chairs because they couldn’t fight and everyone knows how slippy it is round a pool so stopping chairs hitting us I slip in the pool and that’s what went viral.

Harratt, 23, plays for Oldham and recently said he was looking forward to a ‘little party in Ibiza’

‘If they let me get back out the pool or got in with me then they would have been slapped again but they didn’t they got kicked out …. Everyone sat around the pool after was coming up to us shaking our hands and buying us drinks because the lads were bellends!’

The incident comes just three weeks after Harratt scored the winning goal in extra-time of the 3–2 victory over Southend United in the final at Wembley to secure Oldham a place back in League 2 next season.

But fans were quick to condemn his actions and urged his club to tear up his contract.

One posted: ‘He just can’t help himself can he. I’ve defended him multiple times [and] even was happy when he scored the winner against Southend but you can’t be throwing chairs at women Kian.’

Another commented: ‘I’ll be stunned if he plays for us this season. Embarrassment, no way for anybody to act – never mind someone in the public eye.’

Kian’s mother Kathleen Duncan said she was also aware of the video but did not want to comment. 

She said: ‘Kian won’t be back til later. He’s still on holiday. I think he’s meant to be flying this morning. He was supposed to have landed in Leeds but he cancelled his flight because he missed it. 

‘He wouldn’t be able to say anything [about the video] – it would be down to his agent. He will be back later this afternoon.’ 

Harratt reposted a clip of the altercation on his TikTok page, with the video being seen more than 400,000 times

It’s not Harratt’s first brush with controversy. Last year while on loan at Fleetwood Town from Huddersfield Town he was fined £1,000 by police after he was caught poaching in North Yorkshire.

Police were called just before midnight on February 6 to investigate a vehicle being driven suspiciously around Whashton, near Richmond.

A short while later Harratt, from Pontefract, and Daniel Luke Dimmock, 34, from Castleford were found carrying large black lamps, and with lurcher-type dogs on slip leads, police said. The men were searched, and their lamps and vehicle seized.

They were both later charged with entering land as a trespasser at night with poaching equipment. 

They were found guilty of entering land as a trespasser at night with poaching equipment at Harrogate Magistrates Court on December 19 and fined £1,153 each, and ordered to pay hundreds of pounds more in costs and surcharges, according to police.

He was also convicted of poaching at a farm in East Yorkshire in 2022 and fined £830, plus £233 costs.

Also, Harratt was banned from football for four months in the 2023-24 season while at Huddersfield after placing 484 bets on matches over a three-year period. 

That came with a £3,200 fine and 36 of the bets were on Huddersfield games – though he insisted he was not in the matchday squad for any of them. 

MailOnline contacted the Marco Polo hotel in San Antonio, Ibiza, but they refused to comment.
