Tweed Seagulls were shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of former player Liam Hampson following an accident while holidaying in Europe.
The Club’s immediate thoughts and prayers are with the Hampson family at this time as well as the players and staff who were involved with Liam during his time at Seagulls.
CEO Matt Francis said that the news was still too raw to immediately comprehend or fully register.
“Liam was far more than a talented athlete pursuing his dream to play in the NRL,” Francis said.
“He was a great clubman and team mate who brought a positive energy to all that he was involved in which is so critical to a team environment.
“Liam took the same approach when he was a teachers’ aide at his old school at Keebra Park where his footballing talents were first identified.
“Combined with his infectious sense of humour he was a young man with the world at his feet making his passing all the more tragic,” Francis concluded.
Seagulls have reached out to Liam’s family and will respect their need for time and privacy before consulting with them and others for an appropriate time and occasion to celebrate Liam’s life including his contribution to Seagulls.
