Please find me a team to play for

A BOY with a life-limiting condition is begging football clubs to give him a chance to play the game he loves.

Aaron Hunter, 14, from Alexandria, Dunbartonshire, has been trying to find a team to play with for the past year.

But he can't find a disabled squad willing to give him a game due to his severe health issues - despite his own doctors giving him the all-clear to play.

Aaron said: "I just want clubs to give me a chance. If there is anyone out there, please try to help me out. It means a lot to me and I would really like to play in a team.

Football is my passion." The Celtic fan has ROHHAD a brain condition where messages fail to reach the other organs, so they "forget" to work. He requires one-to-one care, daily injections and medication.

Aaron has a tracheostomy in his neck and carries a small oxygen tank on his back.

The youngster's medics have said there are no barriers to him playing football and he already plays at his school, Kilpatrick Secondary in Dalmuir, during PE with no incident.
