Alfie Barker has been sacked by Hitchin Town after the non-league footballer sent offensive tweets to Bournemouth midfielder Harry Arter about the death of his daughter.
Arter was the subject of sickening online abuse as Bournemouth played out a thrilling 3-3 draw against Premier League title hopefuls Arsenal on Tuesday, with the Irishman on the receiving end of tweets regarding his stillborn daughter.
The 27-year-old suffered heartbreak in December 2015 following the death of his newborn baby.
Hitchin Town have reacted by axing forward Barker, who had been playing at Langford and Codicote on a dual registration basis.
