RIP: Ryan Evans 2000-2018

Mansfield Town Football Club is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of 18-year-old striker Ryan Evans.

Ryan, who was the captain the U18s, died recently at home.

In the days before his passing he had accepted a place in the U21 squad ahead of next season.

His coach, Jamie McGuire, said: “We are all desperately sorry to learn of this news and our thoughts and prayers are sent to Ryan’s family at this sad time.

“As a player, Ryan was a fantastic leader, always willing to learn and had a never-ending enthusiasm to do the best he could. It was for these reasons, amongst others, that I made him my captain last season.

“We’ll remember him as a smiling young man, with a great energy and charm.”

Chief executive officer Carolyn Radford said: “We are deeply saddened to learn of Ryan’s passing; a young and talented footballer who was looking forward to U21s football with us next season.

“To lose someone so young is heartbreaking for Ryan’s family and as a club we will support them in every way we can.

“Our heartfelt thoughts are with Ryan’s loved ones, whist we will remember Ryan and his family in our prayers.”
