A footballer has been sacked by his club after a video showed him having sex with a fan in the manager’s dugout following Saturday’s match at Mossley.

Clitheroe FC have given striker Jay Hart (24) the boot after the sex clip was filmed following their 4-1 defeat at Seel Park.

Hart can be heard laughing with the mystery blonde on mobile phone footage that shows him still wearing his Clitheroe FC tracksuit bottoms.

The game had been billed a “ladies day” to attract more female fans.

The romp was quickly uploaded to social media and shared by many, leading to Hart being sacked a few hours later.

Hart admitted after the news broke yesterday that he is full of regret and had been drinking after the match. His girlfriend, Bryony Hibbert, took to Facebook to voice her anger at those who shared the video online.

Writing on the Clitheroe Football Club Facebook page, she said: “Have a bit of decency for the people it's affected. Thank God my kids are too young to read. It’s disgusting. I bet their families are far from perfect.”

A comment from someone online suggested Hart was unaware he was being filmed at first.

He said: “The camera came round the dugout and there was a blonde female with her head down. The man couldn't see the camera because his eyes were closed.

“After a few seconds, he opened his eyes and laughed and the camera panned away again. I've been to Mossley AFC a few times and it's clearly their ground. The whole clip is only 10 to 15 seconds.”
