Supporting Josh Barnes

Support Josh Barnes in His Recovery

On Saturday, March 8th, Basford United player Josh Barnes suffered a significant injury, resulting in the game being abandoned.

This page has been set up to help with any potential financial hardship this injury may cause. Josh makes his living as a performance coach, specialising in 1-to-1 football training and other on-the-pitch work, something this injury will prevent him from doing for some time.

Paramedics responded quickly, making him comfortable on the pitch before he was lifted onto a stretcher, into the ambulance and taken to the hospital.

From what we know, Josh has broken his ankle and his fibula quite high up his leg. The medical team realigned it as best they could before putting it in a cast last night. He is undergoing surgery on Monday and may need plates for his fibula, as well as pins and screws for his ankle.

Josh is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet and a huge part of the Basford United family. Any support, no matter how small, will be greatly appreciated to help him through his recovery.

We ask not just our Non League community, but everybody who may come across this page to share.

Thank you,

Basford United Football Club
