Newcastle United have announced today that they will pay tribute to young Academy star Jordan Thompson at Sunday’s game against West Ham United.
The 15-year-old recently passed away following a long fight with cancer.
Jordan, who was from West Denton, was part of Newcastle’s Under 16 squad and had been signed with his home town club since he was 11 years old. We are very sorry to hear about this and we pass on our very best wishes to his family and all who were connected with Jordan.
As a mark of respect, the club has announced that Newcastle’s players will wear black armbands for Sunday’s game against West Ham. They will also celebrate Jordan’s life with a minute’s applause before the kick-off. Jordan’s family will be at the game and his Academy team-mates will also join the senior team on the field for the minute’s applause.
We are really sad to have one of our youngsters pass away.
