Chris Wreh: Tamworth forward refuses to play over reaction to racism after Tottenham FA Cup tie


“Incidents like this highlight the ongoing issue of racism,” Wreh wrote in a message posted to his X and Instagram accounts., external “It is shameful to be racially abused by someone simply because they lost a bet, but sadly this happens all too often.

“While I have the utmost respect for my manager, who has supported me throughout this issue, I am disappointed that the club has not publicly supported me yet, which has left me feeling confused and disappointed.

“At no point was I asked if I was OK, instead I was informed that the silence was due to a desire to keep the matter internal. I cannot agree with or condone this approach.

“If these incidents are kept ‘in-house’, they will never be addressed. I hope everyone understands my reasons for speaking out.”

BBC Sport has contacted Tamworth FC for comment.

Wreh joined Tamworth, who are 16th in the fifth tier of English football, in 2023. The striker has also played for Hartlepool United, Southend United and Banbury United.

Since Sunday’s tie, Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou has criticised a section of the Tamworth support for abuse aimed at him during the match.
