“Tell me where to meet you I meet you there today bring who ever ur bringing tools wateva cos I tell ya now ur gunna need it no joke I'm actually being mad serious.”
Nugent replied: “Come park.”
A club statement confirmed Moke had apologised to manager Martin Gray and expressed “sincere regret” for his actions.
Gray commented: “I will not tolerate that sort of behaviour from any player at this club. Adriano may have been emotional after a poor performance by the team on Saturday but that does not excuse his comments.
“As a York City player, you are representing the club and the wider community and you need to maintain high standards. Adriano accepts that his comments fell below those standards.”
Moke signed a 12-month contract extension in January, which will keep him at the club until 2019.
