A Bandidos bikie who has twice survived being shot was reportedly invited into AFL club Richmond’s dressing rooms by a player.

Tigers forward Jake King invited Toby Mitchell into the club’s MCG rooms during a Round 20 match when he was out injured, the Herald Sun reports.

The club became aware that the bikie had been invited into the rooms and told King to end his association with Mitchell, the report said on Friday.

The club has also warned its entire playing list not to associate with criminals.

A Richmond spokesman told the paper that King now knew his responsibilities.

“Jake has been counselled specifically on that issue and our playing group are counselled more broadly about off-field issues, as would be the case at all clubs,” the spokesman told the paper.

Mitchell suffered arm injuries after more than 30 shots were fired at a Melton bikie clubhouse in March.

The shooting was the second attempt on Mitchell’s life.

He was shot five times in the hip and back at a shopping centre car park in 2011.

The report said there was no accusation of any links of any criminal nature between Mitchell and King.

Club officials believe the pair are acquaintances rather than close friends.
