Former Huddersfield football star, Jordan Sinnott, has died after being assaulted in Nottinghamshire in the early hours of Saturday, January 25.

The English midfielder suffered a fractured skull in the 2 am attack in Retford, Notts.

Police said the 25-year-old, who is on loan at Matlock Town from Alfreton Town, was found unconscious at around 2 am on Saturday morning in Retford, Nottinghamshire.

Sinnott received treatment at the scene and was rushed to a hospital where he was being treated for his life-threatening injuries.

Police were called to the Dominie Cross pub in Retford following a report that up to eight people had been involved in a disturbance in the car park just after 11:25 pm on Friday.

“The club would ask for privacy to be respected to all at the Reds and to Jordan’s family and friends during this delicate time.

“Rest easy Sinbad, we will never forget you.”
