James Hitchcock was a young soccer goaltender who tragically lost his life, as it was revealed he passed away in hospital after suffering a night out head injury.

Barton Town FC has paid tribute to their goalkeeper, James Hitchcock, who tragically passed away after an alleged assault during a night out last weekend.

Police were called to the incident at around 8.45 pm GMT on Sunday after reports a man, aged in his 30s as described at the time, had suffered serious head injuries.

On Thursday morning, Barton Town FC confirmed the death of Hitchcock in a statement from the heart.

«Barton Town FC are devastated to announce that following a serious head injury, our First Team goalkeeper James Hitchcock has passed away peacefully in hospital.»

Anthony Bowsley, Hitchcock's manager and former teammate at Bridlington Town, also shared a personal tribute.

"James was a lovely kid. Just a genuine, all round good guy. He is irreplaceable both as a friend and a player."
