Former West Bromwich Albion player Quevin Castro has died aged 25 after collapsing during a pre-season friendly in Portugal on Saturday. According to The Athletic, Castro was playing for Portuguese third-tier side Real Sport Clube against Estrela da Amadora when the tragic incident occurred at Estadio das Seixas.

The Lisbon Football Association confirmed his death, while the match was subsequently postponed. West Brom expressed their devastation and will honour Castro with a period of applause during Sunday’s game against Burnley. Castro made three appearances for West Brom’s first team, including a Carabao Cup match against Arsenal, before continuing his career in England’s lower leagues and returning to Portugal this summer.
