Fletcher collided with an advertising hoarding in the fifth minute of the Roman’s National League South clash with the Dulwich Hamlet, with the match eventually abandoned as a result.

After being transferred to hospital he required emergency neurosurgery to stabilise his condition before being admitted to intensive care where he remains in a stable but critical condition.

These events have deeply effected everyone at the Bath City Football Club and we were fully cooperative with their wish to postpone this weekend’s fixture.

We continue to send our best wishes to Alex, his family and everyone connected with the club and have everything crossed he completes a full recovery.
