Steve Lynch, Michael’s personal tutor and programme leader, said:

“I am incredibly sad to hear this. On behalf of the School of Sport & Exercise Science, I would like to extend our condolences to Michael’s family, friends and teammates. He graduated from the University of Lincoln in 2020. I can’t speak highly enough of Michael – as a student, coach and more importantly – a person.”
