FORMER Premier League star Daniel Sturridge has been ordered to pay £22,400 to a man who found his lost dog.
The former Liverpool striker, 32, said the pet was stolen from a house in Los Angeles two years ago and offered a reward for its return.

The Pomeranian, named Lucci, was found by local musician Foster Washington who shared pictures on social media and helped reunite Sturridge with his dog.
A Los Angeles court has now ordered Sturridge to pay Foster $30,085 after it was found he did not honour the reward.
Court documents show that a default judgment was given, meaning Sturridge did not answer to the complaint.
Foster, whose rapper name is Killa Fame, said he felt "let down" by Sturridge.
He said: "Hopefully he pays up and doesn't try to appeal it.
"I'm excited about it, I've been fighting this case for over a year, I can't believe it's over.
"When we found the dog I thought my life was going to be better."
The rapper added he had yet to arrange the payment with Sturridge.
Representatives for the footballer have been contacted for comment.
