Burnley have banned a supporter who racially abused a Bradford player during a pre-season friendly from attending matches indefinitely.

A 30-year-old man from Accrington has been identified by the club. A second man will face no club action, although police are still investigating.

The incident was described as from "the stone ages" by Burnley striker Andre Gray after the match.

Burnley said the ban showed their "zero tolerance" attitude towards racism.
