THE AFL has ordered Collingwood forward Jordan De Goey to make a $10,000 charity donation as punishment for his drunken brush with the law in the US.

Collingwood stood down De Goey in October after it emerged the 25-year-old had been arrested for his involvement in a drunken incident in a New York nightclub.

De Goey eventually pleaded guilty to the downgraded charge of harassment, which saw him avoid a jail sentence and freed him up to rejoin Collingwood in January.

The AFL released a statement on Friday stating De Goey had breached the league's rule 2.3 by engaging in conduct unbecoming.

FULL STATEMENT Jordan De Goey sanctioned over New York incident

De Goey has been doing part-time work with the Salvation Army as part of his club-imposed punishment, and the AFL has now ordered De Goey to pay a $10,000 donation to the organisation.

"While the AFL found that the altercation that Jordan became embroiled in was not instigated by him, he nevertheless weighed into it in an intoxicated state that led to him being ejected from the venue and ultimately subject to police action," the AFL's statement read.

Collingwood and De Goey have accepted the sanction.

"All players have a responsibility to uphold the values and expected behaviours of their club and the AFL," AFL legal counsel Andrew Dillon said.

"Jordan did not live up to these expectations and has since taken responsibility for his actions including accepting this sanction from the AFL."

De Goey suffered a broken rib while training in February, but he's expected to be fit for the round one clash with St Kilda on March 18.
