Our football family has been left heartbroken by the devastating circumstances facing one of our young players, Imrane, and his father.

Both are currently in hospital, facing an incredibly difficult battle, while their loved ones remain by their side during what is an unimaginable time for any family.

Imrane is a much-loved member of our football family. A young man full of life, personality and determination, who has built friendships and memories with his teammates that go far beyond football.

As a club, a team and a community, we want to come together to show this family that they are not facing this difficult journey alone.

We are raising funds to help provide some financial support and ease the everyday pressures that come with such extraordinary circumstances, allowing the family to concentrate on what matters most, being there for one another.

We cannot take away the pain, worry or uncertainty they are experiencing, but together we can make a difference and show them just how much love and support surrounds them.

Any donation, no matter how small, will be hugely appreciated. If you're unable to contribute financially, sharing this appeal would mean just as much.

From our football family to yours, thank you for your kindness, generosity and support.
