Norwich have paid tribute to former academy player Devonte Aransibia, who has died aged 26.
Aransibia joined the Norfolk club's academy in 2013 and progressed through the youth ranks before leaving after six years, having not made a senior first-team appearance.
Midfielder Aransibia went on to have spells at several non-league clubs, including Billericay, Welling, Tonbridge, Maidstone and most recently Chesham.
"Everyone at Norwich City is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of former academy player Devonte Aransibia, aged 26," a statement from the Canaries read.
"Ahead of Tuesday's evening Sky Bet Championship fixture against Preston at Carrow Road there will be a period of applause, whilst the club's players and staff will wear black armbands.
"All at the club pass on our condolences to Devonte's loved ones at this sad time."
