Alfreton's game against Gateshead was postponed this afternoon after the sad news emerged that one of their former players, Jordan Sinnott, had lost his life in what was described as an assult.
Jordan Sinnot had joined Matlock from Alfreton. He is the son of football manager and former player Lee Sinnott.
Alfreton later released a statement.
Alfreton Town would like to release the following statement following on from the incident reported to Nottinghamshire Police overnight.
We are saddened and heartbroken to report that Jordan passed away just before 7pm this evening.
His family and friends were with him at his bedside and we send our sincere condolences to them all at this very sad time.
Jordan was a model footballer and an exceptional talent during his time at the Impact Arena and had a close affinity with both the manager, assistant and the players he took the field with.
The club would ask for privacy to be respected to all at the Reds and to Jordan’s family and friends during this delicate time.
Rest easy Sinbad, we will never forget you.
