A dreadful thing to happen to his family but this news must be devastating to all the other young lads on the pitch at the time of the accident. We old farts know we can go at any time but as a teenager you think you are immortal.

This is truly dreadful news. Deepest sympathy to his family and friends and to whoever was involved in the incident because I can't begin to imagine how bad they are feeling even though it was a total accident

HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS STATEMENT
14th June 2016
It is with regret that Huddersfield Giants wish to inform everyone of the passing of 17 year old academy player Ronan Costello today. Ronan was airlifted to the LGI on Saturday afternoon after he was injured during the Giants academy game with Salford. The Club have been asked by the family to send their thanks for the messages of support they have received to date and have requested that all well-wishers now allow them to grieve and respect their privacy.
COSTELLO FAMILY STATEMENT
We are absolutely devastated to lose Ronan so tragically and suddenly. Ronan was a loving and caring 17 year old lad who was dedicated to his family and friends. He was a credit to all of his family and we are so proud of him and his achievements.
He was passionate about rugby and rugby was a big part of his life.
We acknowledge that this was a tragic accident.
As a family, we wish to extend our appreciation to Leeds General Infirmary’s Neuro Intensive Care Unit for their dedication, respect and efforts in caring for Ronan and to The Giants, especially Andy and Richard who have been a great support to us all during such a difficult time.
We would like to thank everyone who has supported us but we now need some privacy and time to grieve.
We are all truly heartbroken and Ronan will be missed and forever in our hearts.

The RFL should award the U7 CC Final curtain Raiser MOM in his name.
