Sheffield United's longest-serving women's player, Maddy Cusack, has tragically passed away at the age of 27.

Cusack, who was named vice-captain last month, had just started her sixth season with the team in the Women's Championship after signing a new deal back in July.

The 27-year-old also worked as a marketing executive at the club - with everyone involved at the club devastated by her death.

Tributes have already came pouring in for the popular 27-year-old, who tragically died on Wednesday.
