Mansfield defender Mal Benning has been subjected to racist abuse on social media.
The 26-year-old left-back highlighted a tweet he received on Monday evening in which he was called a “dirty p*** b******”.
In response, Benning, who has played more than 200 matches for the Sky Bet League Two club, wrote: “Not experienced much ‘racism’ as one of very few Asian players in the professional game.
Benning, who joined Mansfield from Walsall in 2015, included anti-racism group Kick it Out and the Professional Footballers’ Association in his message. Mansfield also re-posted Benning’s tweet.
