Our deepest condolences go to Colin, Arran, Hollie and their wider family. As a mark of respect, there will be a minute's silence before tonight's game against Cobh Ramblers," said the Cork City X account.

While the League of Ireland X account added, "Everyone at the League of Ireland would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Kelly Healy, wife of former Cork City player and WNT staff member, Colin, and mother of Cork City player, Arran.
