FRIENDS and family of a talented young rugby player have joined forces in a bid to have a mental health champion at every club.

Family and friends of rugby player campaign for mental health champion at every club

Liam Canning, who played for Rossendale Rugby Club, was just 34 when he took his own life on September 9 last year.

Liam's wife Paige was 32 weeks pregnant at the time and their son, named Liam after his father, was born on November 15.

At an inquest into his death in January, Liam’s family raised concerns about whether his lifelong love of rugby had caused his mental health issues.

Consultant neurosurgeon Nicholas Park described how there is a ‘significant positive association between persistent concussion symptoms and clinical depression.’

Liam, from Burnley, also played for Sedgley Park, Blackburn, Waterloo and Burnley and Pendle during his rugby career.
