Walsall Football Club are appalled by the racist abuse on loan winger Tyreik Wright has received online.
As soon as we were made aware of the abhorrent messages, sent to him via Instagram, we spoke with Tyreik and his parent club, Aston Villa, and reported it to West Midlands Police and their Hate Crime Unit.
The Club will work alongside Aston Villa and West Midlands Police to assist with the investigation and provide Tyreik with all the support he needs.
Walsall Football Club will not tolerate racism or discrimination in any shape or form.
