Alex Fletcher fans left heart-broken after Bath City striker gets severely injured

The National League South game between Bath City and Dulwich Hamlet was called off due to an injury sustained by striker Alex Fletcher, who is now in a critical care unit. Fletcher collided with a hoarding in the fifth minute of play and was rushed to the hospital. Hoardings at Bath's Twerton Park stadium are reinforced with concrete blocks.

The 23-year-old's parents said in a statement that he needed "emergency neurosurgery to stabilize his condition" and that he is still in a critical condition, but his condition is stable.

Although the exact circumstances are still unknown, some fans on social media have claimed that he was knocked out after struggling for control and accidentally being pushed into the hoarding.

An investigation has been called for to look into all aspects that contributed to Fletcher's severe injury.



According to a post from Dulwich Hamlet, both teams decided to call off the match after the incident. The score was 0-0 until then. Releasing a statement, Alex’s club said, "Alex's safety and recovery are currently the most crucial things, and from everyone associated with Dulwich, we wish him a swift and complete recovery."

Fletcher joined Bath City from Tiverton Town in January 2021, and after scoring 19 goals in his debut year, he was voted player of the year. Before officially leaving the team in 2020, the striker started his career with Plymouth and went on loan to Torquay, Aldershot and Tiverton.
