Quevin Castro has sadly passed away at the age of 25 after collapsing during a match in Portugal.

Castro went down during the first half of Real Sport Clube’s pre-season friendly against top-flight side Estrela da Amadora at the Estadio das Seixas in Lisbon on Saturday.

The Lisbon Football Association (AFL) later confirmed that Castro had passed away during the friendly.

The former Sporting CP academy player joined West Brom in 2021, making his debut against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup. He went on to represent several clubs in England before returning to Portugal last summer.

Real Sport Clube paid tribute to Castro, describing him as much more than a player and a hugely valued member of their football family.

Thoughts are with Quevin Castro’s family, friends, teammates and everyone who knew him during this incredibly difficult time. 🙏

This news has really hit me hard. Quevin was one of our first players to sign when we took over the club and had all the talent to go to the top. The young lads, Quevin, Thierry, Levi, and Kev always held a special place in my heart. We all were beginning a journey and all were new to what we were doing. I always wanted those boys to come on the journey to the very end with me. Unfortunately football doesn’t always have the fairytale ending. I do often contemplate if I had just stuck to my gut and stuck with these boys and help them fulfil their potential and it doesn’t sit right with me that I felt I let them down. But that connection continued even after they left. I’ve always kept in contact with Quevin and Thierry especially, always keeping my eye on their careers and feeling proud when I’d see them have a good game. The last time I spoke to Quevin he was so excited for the club and the promotion and was also excited to get his playing career back on track. The news today absolutely took me out and made our game hard to even watch. Really puts everything into perspective. I’m sad I won’t see Quevin again but I’m glad for the time we did get to spend together. A lovely young man taken far too soon. Rest easy my brother ❤️😞
