Lewis Hardcastle

[Yanto]

Very sad news. Thanks for all you have done for Barrow AFC Lewis. Good luck in the future.

Fans need to do something for him.... Thinking caps on.

Yes, good shout.

[Cokey]

Terribly sad to see a playing career ended at such a young age.

When one door closes, another one opens. Hopefully Lewis will stay in the game and maybe become a top coach. Best wishes for the future mate.

Don’t know if it would be needed or not but is there an option to set something up to support Lewis such as a crowdfunded/just giving.

If so would people be keen to contribute?

[Middleton Nick]

Devastated for Lewis.

Fans need to do something for him.... Thinking caps on.

would be good to get a banner with say "Lewis we're thinking of you " and place it in the Holker Street end !

[Wintergreen]

That is desperately sad news for Lewis and to a lesser degree ourselves. Of course we should do something to help and recognise his successful time with us. However the club have said "further announcements will be made in the coming weeks" so I think we should hang fire and see what they have in mind and how we can contribute. What a crying shame.

[Barrow Lad New]

Thanks for all your excellent efforts for Barrow AFC Lewis, with very best wishes for the future.

Absolutely in shock at this. Poor lad.

Hope there’s a role at the club for him or something so he doesn’t lose football completely.

Can’t even imagine how he must be feeling.

[spirit of 1990]

That must be devastating for him, I can’t begin to imagine how he must be feeling right now. The positive for him and his family is at least the problem was detected at an early stage.

As someone mentioned earlier, a match against Blackburn must an option.

[RedWeb]

We now have another reason to fight so hard to stay up - for Lewis who was one of the main reason we won the league last season.

This.

Shocking news, very sorry to learn of that. All best wishes to Lewis and all his family members as he comes to terms with this and decides on his next pathway. Always genuine on the pitch, always to be remembered as a part of our Championship winning side from 2019-20.

[GazzaT]

Incredibly sad news. Always gave 100% in a Barrow shirt and at his best a class player. Hopefully he will stay in the game in some capacity maybe even at Barrow? Good luck Lewis, whatever you choose to do in the future. Will always be welcome at Holker St.

[Methuselah]

I just like to wish Lewis all the best for the future with the hope he can receive the medical treatment he requires and one day return to football in one form or another.We need people like him as an integral part of the club and who made such an important contribution to getting our club promoted back into the Football League. Great player who will be sadly missed.He will always be a Bluebird.

Very sad for the lad and his family as others have said they have seen the problem early so hopefully he can lead and full and long life. Hope the club do something for him and maybe the trust could let us know if anything is planned so we can all play a part.
