Marcus Stewart departs Yeovil after MND diagnosis

Ex-professional footballer Marcus Stewart has left his role as Yeovil Town FC's head of player development more than two years after he was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

Yeovil Town FC said the former Bristol Rovers, Bristol City, Exeter City, Ipswich Town, Sunderland and Yeovil striker remained "a cherished part of our club's history and a much-admired figure within the wider football community".

Bristol-born Stewart was diagnosed with MND in September 2022 and has since raised awareness of the condition, completing a 178-mile (286km) march to raise research funding.

The club added its "very best wishes to Marcus and his family as he continues his fight with dignity and courage".
