Beth Mead releases heartfelt statement following tragic news of mum's death

England and Arsenal footballer Beth Mead has thanked those closest to her, as well as the wider footballing world, for their support following the passing of her mum.

The 27-year-old shared the heartbreaking update on social media last week and confirmed her mum, June, had died on January 7 following a battle with ovarian cancer. Messages of support quickly followed, including a touching tribute from the men's team, who shared a photo on social media of the squad in their dressing room with a shirt that read 'Thinking of you Beth'.

Mead shared a further message on social media on Tuesday, saying: "I just want to take a minute to thank family, friends and the footballing world for the love & support since the passing of my mum. It means the world to me and my family during this difficult time. Much love."
