Non-League footballer Junior Dian has died after collapsing during a pre-season friendly for Tonbridge Angels on Tuesday night.

The 23-year-old, who was on trial with the club, fell to the ground 20 minutes after coming onto the pitch as a second-half substitute in a game against Whyteleafe FC.

Medics administered CPR on the field and Dian was later taken to St George's Hospital in Tooting, where he died in the early hours of this morning.

Tonbridge Angels chairman Steve Churcher released a statement, which read: "This is devastating news and our only crumb of comfort is that Junior lost his life doing something he obviously enjoyed so much. All our thoughts and sympathies are with his family."

There were no players around Dian when he collapsed.
