Hiram Boateng scored three goals in 44 National League appearances for York City this season
York City have said they will support midfielder Hiram Boateng "through all proceedings" after a video appeared to show him punching a Rochdale fan in Saturday's National League title decider.
In the chaotic scenes that followed York's 103rd minute equaliser which secured promotion to the EFL, footage appears to show a fan putting his hands on a York player who was on his knees on the pitch with his head on the ground, and, after an intervention by two stewards, the player standing up and breaking free before seeming to punch the fan in the face.
Greater Manchester Police released a statement on Sunday to say they were "assessing the video and reviewing CCTV of the incident" and were in touch with both clubs and the National League.
"It will be important in the coming days for there to be a proper reflection and assessment of the circumstances around the end of the game, what happened and what can be learned," York said in a statement on X
