The club expanded upon the statement on Facebook, writing: “Dan featured in both our first and second teams and was a valued member of the Club.

“Naturally our thoughts are with her family & partner who is also a player for the Club and we ask that their privacy is respected at this delicate moment.

“As and when we have more information we will share what we can. We will be requesting to our respective leagues that our matches on September 4 are postponed as this has naturally affected our players deeply and we hope they and our opponents understand and respect this request.

“Dan will be sorely missed from everyone at Aylesford Football Club, she was and will always be part of the Aylesford family.”

Hundreds of tributes flooded social media following the shocking news of the young footballer’s sudden death.

Another said: “RIP Danielle. Very sorry to hear this news and thinking of her family and friends.”

“Such awful news for everyone and one of your most loved footballing ability players to help you achieve your goals this season. Hopefully, in time you will find a good way to honour her like naming something after her or retiring her shirt number. Best wishes AUWFC’s 12th man,” wrote another person.

Another person wrote: “🙏 This is awful.”

The news of Cubitt’s death comes after a young hockey player died during a game in Canada.

      The notices say she worked in “match control” – in other words a steward. Not a footballer.

        It appears that Danielle played for Aylesford but was also a match official at Gillingham
