Spirit of Youth Junior FC, which uses the field, said the boy was not believed to be one of their players and was thought to have been taking part in a private coaching session.

The BBC reports that club secretary Daniel Pack said three teams had been due to train this evening but the sessions were cancelled due to the storm.

He said: “The whole committee is devastated and our thoughts are with the boy and his family and the coach.”

Police have launched an appeal for witnesses and information.
