Former defender dies aged 45
The club is sad to learn about the death of former Darlington defender Kevin Austin at the age of 45.
Kevin played for us at the start of season 2010-11 and played 12 games for us before moving on to Boston United.
Darlington manager Tommy Wright was a team mate of Kevin's in that season, and said; "He was a great man, gentle giant and was always smiling." Kevin also played for Leyton Orient, Lincoln, Bristol Rovers, Swansea and Chesterfield.
Everyone at Darlington FC would like to pass on our condolences to Kevin's family.
