In a statement released on Saturday night, worried club officials promised to keep supporters updated after speaking to his father, Redbridge secretary Bob Holloway.

The Hawks said: "We would like to wish Sam Holloway a speedy recovery after a horrific double leg break at Thurrock. We shall do our very best to keep everyone informed of any further developments.

"Club secretary Ray Dyer spoke to Sam's father Bob Holloway on Saturday evening and was told Sam was comfortable and would be kept in overnight with his leg in plaster and that they would then operate on Sunday."

Holloway started the season at Thurrock before moving to Heybridge Swifts. He has also seen service at Redbridge.
