Aylesbury United have suspended goalkeeper Jack Hopwood after he directed a derogatory term towards a disabled Leighton Town supporter last weekend.
In a statement, Aylesbury United said: "The club can confirm the preliminary outcome of its review of the incident that occurred at Saturday’s game against Leighton Town."
"The language used by Jack Hopwood was unacceptable, and fell well below the standards expected of anyone representing the club. The club will not tolerate conduct that brings our reputation into disrepute."
As a consequence the club will consider:
• Jack Hopwood will remain suspended by the club.
• Jack will have to agree to complete all relevant FA equality and anti-discrimination courses.
• Jack has offered to work with the Aylesbury United Pan-Disability section to support this.
"Jack sincerely regrets what happened, the negative impact it has had on the club, and understands the work required to rebuild trust with the club and its supporters."
"In addition, everyone involved with the club will be reminded of the expectations of conduct as a representative of Aylesbury United."
