A young rugby player has tragically died in hospital after suffering an injury while scoring a try during a match.
Jack Jeffery was playing for Evesham RFC against Berkswell and Balsall in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, when he was hurt on the pitch on Saturday.
He was rushed to hospital after suffering an injury while scoring but tragically died later that day, reports the Mirror.
In a club statement, Evesham paid an emotional tribute to the 'beloved' young player.
The club said he was "too good for even the All Blacks" as a player, and was also described as "calm, respected and highly thought of."
"It is with immeasurable sadness that we have to report the tragic loss of our beloved Jack Jeffery following our Seniors League fixture at Berkswell and Balsall yesterday, February 12," they added.
"Jack was adding another try to his phenomenal record and during the act and subsequent challenge of scoring he was injured. He was taken to Walgrave Hospital where he tragically lost his fight.
"A more committed, loyal 'Clubman' is hard to find. He would often return from London for training and was always at the heart of club activities.
"He served his club, his teammates and the county with distinction and provided much satisfaction to the club supporters in knowing exactly where the whitewash was.
"As a club, we have been overwhelmed by the messages of support and goodwill from the rugby community. Jack was calm, respected and highly thought of.
"Our club and community have lost such a bright light.
"On behalf of Evesham Rugby, I thank everyone whom supported Jack in his moment of need yesterday and for all the messages of support I have received from other clubs and the North Mids Union.
"As a mark of respect our club is closed today. We fly at half-mast.
"Please take a moment today in your prayers and take your moment of silence for Jack, his family, loved ones and friends."
Premiership side Worcester Warriors also paid tribute to the talented player.
They said: "The thoughts of all at Sixways are with the family, friends and team-mates of Evesham RFC player Jack Jeffery who tragically lost his life after yesterday's match at Berkswell and Balsall."
