Cardiff goalkeeper Ben Wilson branded AFC Wimbledon's supporters "c****" before his loan spell at Kingsmeadow came to an end.

He joined Wimbledon from Cardiff in October on an emergency loan deal following an injury to James Shea.

After eight appearances for the Dons he was sent back to his parent club on Monday - a day after he furiously responded to abuse handed out to him by supporters on Twitter.

Replying to his detractors on social media, he wrote: "you're still paying to watch every week and helping towards my wage, I'm laughing and you're losing out".

A Dons fan responded by saying: "I'm glad you think its funny, the teams already got enough c**** who don't care".

Wilson hit back, writing: "got enough of them as supporters like you also".

The club confirmed Wilson's return to Cardiff on their website, with manager Neal Ardley saying: “I’d like to thank Ben for his commitment while he was here and wish him all the best in his future career.”

It is not clear whether Wilson's comments on Twitter played any role in his departure from the club.
