The thoughts and condolences of everyone at Worcester Warriors go to the family, friends and team-mates of Jack Jeffery and Evesham RFC.
Jack tragically died in Walsgrave Hospital in Coventry from injuries he sustained in the process of scoring a try for Evesham in their Midlands Two West South win at Berkswell & Balsall on Saturday.
“A more committed, loyal ‘Clubman’ is hard to find. He would often return from London for training and was always at the heart of club activities,” said Evesham Chairman David Summerfield in a statement.
“He served his club, his teammates and the county with distinction and provided much satisfaction to the club supporters in knowing exactly where the whitewash was.
“As a club, we have been overwhelmed by the messages of support and goodwill from the rugby community. Jack was calm, respected and highly thought of.
“Our club and community have lost such a bright light.
“On behalf of Evesham Rugby, I thank everyone whom supported Jack in his moment of need yesterday and for all the messages of support I have received from other clubs and the North Midlands RFU.
“As a mark of respect our club is closed today. We fly at half-mast. Please take a moment today in your prayers and take your moment of silence for Jack, his family, loved ones and friends.”
