In September, myself and former teammates will be running the vitality 10k on behalf of our former teammate and friend Errol Carter

Errol has had some serious health issues over the last few years and we’re raising what we can to show our support for a friend. Errol is now under palliative care for brain cancer at the age of 30.

Errol had a brain tumour diagnosis following a number of health issues dating back to April 2024, when he became a dual-code Turkey international.

During his debut his legs collapsed underneath him and he suffered temporary paralysis.

Continued issues on his return to the UK led to a diagnosis of the rare Cauda Equina Syndrome spinal disorder, two operations and more than seven months in hospital, since when he has been using a wheelchair.

Last year Errol began to experience problems with his vision, resulting in scans and the biopsy which confirmed the brain tumour.
