Louis Britton has spoken about the extent of the abuse he received following his controversial switch from Waterford FC to their First Division title rivals Cork City.

Waterford already condemned the vile comments directed at the 21-year-old and the striker – who moved to Cork last month after his being recalled by his parent club Bristol City – gave his first-count insight to Waterford Local Radio on Thursday morning.
