It is with great sadness that we learned on Tuesday morning of the passing of Harrison Aylott, a former member of last season’s Under-16s squad.

Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Harrison’s family, friends, teammates, and everyone affected by this tragic loss.

Harrison’s passing has left a deep sense of sorrow within the football community and among all who had the privilege of knowing him. As a young player who was part of the Under-16s squad last season, he was more than just a teammate—he was a valued member of a group built on teamwork, dedication, and shared passion for the game.

Those who shared the pitch with Harrison remember a young man who brought commitment and energy to every training session and match. At youth level, football is about more than competition; it is about growth, friendship, and learning, and Harrison was part of that journey alongside his teammates. His presence contributed to the spirit of the squad, and his absence will be deeply felt by those who trained and played alongside him.

For his family, this loss is immeasurable. No words can fully capture the pain of losing someone so young, with so much of life still ahead. In this difficult time, they are surrounded by the thoughts and support of those who share in their grief and who wish to offer comfort in any way possible.

Friends and teammates are left with memories of shared moments—training sessions, matches, laughter, and the everyday experiences that form the foundation of youth sport. These memories now take on even greater meaning, becoming lasting reminders of Harrison’s place in their lives.

The club and wider community stand together in mourning, reflecting on the fragility of life and the importance of supporting one another through moments of loss. While words cannot ease the pain felt by those closest to Harrison, the collective support of teammates, coaches, and friends serves as a reminder that he will not be forgotten.

As time moves forward, Harrison’s memory will remain within the hearts of those who knew him. His contribution to his team, his friendships, and the time he spent as part of the Under-16s squad will continue to be remembered with respect and affection.
