Kerry Football Club is aware of an alleged 'racial' remark directed at one of our players during last night’s SSE Airtricity Men’s First Division game against Longford Town.

The club continues to work with the FAI and the League of Ireland to kick 'racism' out of the game.

Kerry FC stands with the player affected and he is receiving all support available to him at this time.
