Players support Fletcher

-

FORMER Bristol City left-back Joe Bryan has shown his generosity by donating £1,000 to the fundraiser for Bath City player Alex Fletcher.

Goalkeeper Max O’Leary has also donated £100 to help support Fletcher’s family following his horrific accident last week. The 23-year-old remains in a critical condition in hospital but has shown signs of improvemen­t.

The forward collided head first into an advertisin­g board that was reinforced with concrete just five minutes into Bath’s National League South game with Dulwich

Hamlet last week. He was taken by ambulance to hospital to undergo emergency neurosurge­ry.

A fundraiser was set up by a Bath supporter, which has shown the generosity of players and fans from clubs across England and abroad. At the time of writing, over £13,500 had been raised from more than 558 donations, smashing the original £500 target.

Bristol-born Bryan, who plays with Ligue 1 side Nice on loan from Fulham, and Robins stopper O’Leary both played on loan at Bath as youngsters.
