Club will ‘reflect on the outcomes’ of independent investigationMedical reasons for footballer’s death still to be determined

The 27-year-old midfielder combined playing for Championship Sheffield United with a job as a marketing executive at Bramall Lane but her family said her spirit had been “broken” in the months preceding her death and subsequently told the BBC that the pressure on female footballers is “way too much”.
