Wrexham star takes savage swipe at rival fans in X-rated social media post

Those three points closed the gap on the automatic League One play-off places and the club went online to have a jab at the away fans.

The 35-year-old on Instagram posted a photo of himself celebrating which was captioned: "Rotherham fans stink of p***, came to the racecourse and got dismissed."

Three points were secured thanks to January signings Sam Smith and Jay Rodriguez.

The latter headed down the ball from a long goal kick into the path of Smith who neatly tucked the ball under an onrushing Dillon Phillips.

Wrexham sit third in League One, level on points with second place Wycombe Wanderers, 11 points behind leaders Birmingham City.

He continued: "Because of the history where I come from in Derry, I cannot wear something that represents that."
