Teammate from that period Jordan McLaughlin wrote, “I’m finding it hard to put into words the news which I heard this morning, it’s safe to say I’ve never been so shocked!
“I didn’t know Jordan overly well at all, I only had the privilege of playing with him for a number of months with Finnharps Underage!
“Very talented young man who was a true gentleman to everybody. One of the best and brightest personalities I’ve ever seen, never seen the lad without a smile on his face.
“As I said I didn’t know him well but am still struggling to get my head around what exactly had happened so I cannot imagine what his family and friends are going through at this moment in time
“My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time and I extend my deepest sympathies to all effected by this tragic news ❤ rest in peace Jordan, you won’t be forgotten
