A non league footballer has been sacked by his club after he purposely sent vile and disgusting tweets to Bournemouth and Republic of Ireland footballer Harry Arter about the death of his baby girl.
It is believed Hitchin Town player Alfie Barker has been shown the door after he abused the Premier League star after his terrific performance in last night’s game against Arsenal.
Arter who was instrumental in his sides performance which seen the match end in a 3-3 draw, was subjected to some pretty nasty and hurtful comments by his non-league counterpart. According to reports a vile Barker took to Twitter after the game to submit Tweets that referenced Arter’s performance to the tragic passing of his and his partner Rachel’s stillborn daughter in 2015.
The disgusting messages were eventually deleted with the disgraced-Barker issuing an apology a short time later; “I’m sorry for every comment made, I’d like to apologise to Harry Arter and his family for such disgraceful comments and I’m sorry from the bottom of my heart.”
But not before claiming he was hacked.
Meanwhile his club who play in the seventh-tier of English football, provided this statement; “In the light of the player’s irresponsible and anti-social behaviour, we are terminating Alfie Barker’s registration and relationship with the club with immediate effect.”
