Devonte Aransibia dies aged 26 as tributes pour in for ex-Norwich footballer Former Norwich City and Maidstone United footballer Devonte Aransibia has died aged 26, his family have confirmed.
Troy Townsend, former Millwall and Crystal Palace youth player and father to ex-England star Andros, posted two pictures of a young Aransibia, and said: ‘Shocked beyond belief.
Unable to make a first team breakthrough at his boyhood club, Aransibia enjoyed success at non-league level with the likes of Potters Bar, Royston Town, Chelmsford and Welling.

Aransibia was on the books at Chesham at the start of the current campaign but only made two appearances for the National League Two club.
