Scots footballer diagnosed with devastating bleed on the brain after leaving pitch

An Ayrshire footballer has been hospitalised after medics discovered a bleed on the brain.

Will Graham featured for West of Scotland Premiership side Hurlford United in their friendly against Maybole last night before being taken to Crosshouse Hospital with a suspected head injury.

The former Kilmarnock youth underwent tests which revealed he was suffering with a bleed on the brain.

He has since been transferred to Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth Hospital where he will undergo surgery for the condition.

A Hurlford spokesperson said: "After leaving the field in our friendly with Maybole, Will was taken to Crosshouse Hospital where tests revealed a bleed on the brain.

"He has been transferred to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Glasgow for surgery.

"His dad Steven, and the family appreciate all the messages of concern and support at this difficult time.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with them and Will for a speedy recovery."
