Hawthorn's 2013 premiership hero Brian Lake has been charged with assault and aggravated burglary, will reportedly face court next month according to a report.

Lake appeared in Melbourne Magistrates court on Monday and will face up to seven charges in what was reportedly a violent rampage from the Hawthorn premiership legend.

Following an incident on February 12, Lake was granted bail on Monday night for criminal charges which include unlawful assault, aggravated burglary and criminal damage and trespassing, and will adhere to a court on March 13.

On top of the laid out offences, the court will also look at failure to answer bail, unlicensed driving and excess speeding involving the 37-year-old.

The news comes after Lake was arrested in Japan last July, following a late-night brawl which placed the former Hawks star in solitary confinement for a total of six days.

Lake, who was last seen on Australian Survivor, played 197 games for the Western Bulldogs before he made the move to Hawthorn and played 54 games, winning the 2013 Norm Smith medal.
