A football club has released a statement following the death of their 15-year-old player who drowned in a lake on Friday afternoon.

Emergency crews were called to Beckenham Place Park in south-east London shortly after 3pm on Friday to search for Izaiah Smith, 15, who had gone missing in the lake.

Crews found Izaiah’s body in the water around eight hours later at 10:42pm, after which the teenager was taken to hospital but later pronounced dead.

It is understood that Smith had been out celebrating the start of the Easter holidays when he got into difficulty swimming, with fears that he may have gone into cold water shock.

Taking to social media on Sunday afternoon, Dorking Wanderers posted a statement in tribute to the youngster. 

It read: ‘We are absolutely devastated to learn of the passing of one of our young footballers – Izaiah Smith. It is of course impossible to find the words to explain what a tragedy this is.
