A FORMER Gold Coast ­Titans under-20s player-turned-bikie nominee has walked free from court after trafficking more than 10,000 ecstasy pills.

Dan Ian Kilian, 23, who now plays for the NSW Tumut Blues, was in the Supreme Court in Brisbane on Wednesday, where the court heard he was busted by police who were bugging a drugs safe house.

Cameras hidden by police showed Kilian at dealer Bing Crosby Cosca’s drug “safe house” in the Casino Towers apartment complex on George St, in the Brisbane CBD, where he consumed and was supplied ecstasy pills.

Dubbed “the big fella”, Kilian was a nominee member of the Tweed Coast Chapter of the Rebels outlaw motorcycle club. He has since left the club.

Kilian was originally charged with trafficking in dangerous drugs as a Vicious Lawless Associate, but these charges were later dropped.

He pleaded guilty to trafficking in ecstasy over six weeks in July and August 2014.

Justice Ann Lyons sentenced Kilian to a 3-and-a-half-year sentence, suspended after 251 days, which Kilian has already served.

The court was told Kilian had a NSW criminal history, including aggravated assault for headbutting and punching a man outside a Coffs Harbour pub in December 2013.

The victim was knocked unconscious with punches and the headbutt and received an inch-long cut to his face that needed stitches.

Kilian also served 18 months in a NSW prison for supplying ecstasy.

His lawyer Chris Wilson told the court that Kilian was a “quite talented and promising young footballer” and he had a contract to play for Tumut next year.

Cosca was sentenced to 13 years prison in February this year.
