A young footballer whose dreams of playing professionally were shattered by kidney disease is to re-join the game as a referee.
Dan Hogben, from York, was 16 and about to take on a scholarship with Hull City when his kidney function fell to 13% and he was told he needed a transplant.
Warned playing would be too risky, he instead completed his refereeing course at the academy where he used to train.
Now 19, he said he wanted to prove "you can still achieve your dreams".
Mr Hogben had played football since he was seven years old, but once his kidney condition was diagnosed, he was devastated to be told the dangers of playing would be too high.
