Blunder: Ashley-Paul Robinson was told to look for another club after revealing talks with Fulham on Facebook

A footballer has been told to look for a new club after he unwittingly revealed to more than 2.7million people on Facebook that he was in secret talks with a Premier League team.

Ashley-Paul Robinson, a 19-year-old winger at Crystal Palace has angered the club's bosses after posting a message on his profile saying he was having a trial at Fulham.

The south London club's furious manager Neil Warnock said today that Robinson should 'look elsewhere to further his career', after embarrassing the team.

On Saturday, Robinson, from Beckenham, Kent updated his status on the site to say: 'Ashley-Paul is goin fulham on monday. If i pull dis of im on dis ting!!!'

But instead of just being visible to his 198 Facebook friends  -  he unintentionally allowed the entire London network of the social networking site to view it. 

The following day he updated his status again  -  this time with more details about his trial with the club.

He wrote: 'Ashley-Paul Is Travling 2 Bath With Fulham Fingers Crossed. (Im lukin 2 Get Sum Tips Of Jimmy Bullard He's ON DIS TING NO HYPE LOL.'

The news spread rapidly among Fulham and Crystal Palace fans before either club could release a statement.

When news reached furious Crystal Palace chiefs, Robinson, who has been with the club since he was 14, was given a telling off.

Yesterday afternoon, he posted a new message: 'Ashley-Paul has been very naughty lol!'

But his employers do not consider his behaviour to be a laughing matter.

Mr Warnock, who offered him a new contract at the end of last season, confirmed today that Robinson had been given his marching orders.

He said: 'We feel it's probably better that he looks elsewhere to further his career.'
