West Ham are being urged to take action against a youth team coach who reportedly attended a march organised by the Football Lads Alliance.
The Guardian report that Kick It Out were alerted by the situation and the Premier League club are now being told to consider action.
As cited in the report, a spokesperson for Kick It Out confirmed the claims.
We can confirm we’ve received a report about a West Ham coach claiming to have attended the DFLA rally in London at the weekend. We have passed it on to the club and are liaising with them about the issue.
Mark Phillips is part of the West Ham U18s set-up and was very vocal on social media about the prospect of attending the march.
The far-right group have been condemned by anti-racism groups in the past and protesters tried to block the march in question, according to the report.
The Guardian’s report does not specify to what length that Phillips was involved in the march, if at all, with it yet to be seen what action the Hammers will take on the situation.
As of yet, the club are yet to comment on the claims.
