Tom's brother Joe said: "We're currently looking for sponsors for our charity match football kits.

"It's an excellent way of promoting a business while also contributing to a great cause."

Money raised from the match will go towards providing defibrillators to areas associated with Tom as well as the Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) charity, which provides screening events as well as grief support to people faced with the tragedy of losing a young person to a heart condition.
