🔵⚪ Thank you, Paul Downing.
Today we confirm the departure and retirement from playing of our captain, bringing to a close a fantastic career spanning more than 380 appearances across the Football League and the top levels of non-league football.
A true professional on and off the pitch, Paul’s leadership and experience were invaluable to the squad during his time at Worcester City.
Everyone at the club wishes Paul and his family every success as he embarks on the next chapter of his coaching career.

🎥 We sat down with Professor Sir Jonathan Van-Tam, Chair of the Lincolnshire Football Association, and Professor David O'Brien, Consultant Interventional Cardiologist at Lincoln Private Hospital, to discuss a pioneering new cardiac screening programme for grassroots football across Lincolnshire.
🫀 The pilot scheme will provide 100 free cardiac screening appointments for eligible players and referees aged 18-35, offering access to specialist heart assessments over the next 12 months.
Watch the interview to hear why the programme has been launched, how the screening process works, and what it means for the grassroots game.

Happy James Hayter Day. 25th May 2008. Rovers marked their first only visit to Wembley Stadium by beating Leeds United 1-0 in the League One play-off Final courtesy of James Hayter's header. Hard to believe that this match was 18 years ago. #DRFC
