Police are to investigate death threats made to Swindon midfielder Aaron Brown.
Brown has often had a strained relationship with the club's fans - he was recently forced to apologise after gesturing to a section of Swindon supporters.
The winger also attracted criticism after handing in a transfer request following the club's relegation to League Two.
The club have received calls regarding Brown and messages have also been left on the player's mobile phone.
Swindon police's football liaison officer PC James Neighbour told the Swindon Advertiser: "We got a call from the club saying one player had received death threats and we obviously take these things seriously.
"We are looking into it and inquiries are ongoing. We are monitoring the situation and anything that comes in will be treated with the seriousness that it dictates."
