Levi spent the following hours in hospital 'fighting for life' before being declared brain dead. The school's football programme released a statement the next day confirming his death. The Wolves, as the team is known, described Levi as 'a talented boy whose legacy would have a lasting impact on the school'.

In their statement, the football programme said: 'Levi was more than a football player. He was a son, a friend, a teammate, a brother, and a valued member of our Wolves family.' The team added that there was 'no playbook for something like this' and that 'there is no way to make sense of losing someone so young'. The statement concluded: 'Levi, you may no longer be standing beside your brothers on the field, but you will forever be a part of this team.'
