Former England international Geoff Thomas has been diagnosed with leukaemia.

Thomas told the Wolverhampton Express & Star: "I have been diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia and have been receiving treatment over the last three weeks which has improved my blood count.

"All of this has been a huge shock to me and my family. That is why everyone's support is so special."


Meanwhile, Rochdale have signed former Reds winger Leo Bertos. The New Zealand Under-21 international scored one goal for Barnsley.
