Following a devastating leg break in three places, a friend of Marcus Mealing, former Ascot United striker has set up a GoFundMe page to help with his post-op rehabilitation.

Been a long and tough few days.
Big thank you for all the messages and the support, really and truly appreciated.

Mealing joined the Yellas in the 2022/23 season, making 52 appearances and netting 18 goals for the double trophy winners before departing in June last year. The skilful striker wasn’t left clubless for long as he was snaffled by ambitious Flackwell Heath.

You can donate to Marcus’ GoFundMe page here. We’d like to wish Marcus all the best with his recovery.
