A footballer has appeared in court accused of murdering another non-League player in an altercation at York Station.
James Hitchcock, from Cottingham in East Yorkshire, played for Barton Town FC and was seriously injured on 14 December, after he had been on a night out in York. He died in hospital on Wednesday.
Mckenzie Dicicco, 22, of Belgravia Gardens, Middlesbrough, who has played at Thornaby, Northallerton and Pickering football clubs, appeared at Leeds Crown Court earlier charged with murder and affray.
He was further remanded in custody until his next hearing on 5 February, and a provisional trial date was set for July.
