Northern Irish top flight club Larne FC have confirmed that John Herron has left the club by “mutual agreement.”
The Scottish midfielder was recently pictured wearing a t-shirt that featured a pro-IRA slogan, prompting the Irish FA to hand him a 10-game ban.
The club have followed suit by announcing the termination of the 28-year-old’s contract.
“We can confirm John Herron has left the club after his contract was terminated by mutual agreement,” read a statement from Larne. “We would like to take this opportunity to reiterate our total commitment to being an inclusive football club.
