Two men have been charged with manslaughter, affray and common assault following the death of non-league footballer Jordan Sinnott.

Matlock Town midfielder Sinnott died in hospital on Saturday after suffering a suspected fractured skull in an assault in the centre of Retford at about 2am.

Nottinghamshire Police said Cameron Matthews, 21, of Denman Close, and Kai Denovan, 22, of Collins Walk, both Retford, had also been charged with affray and common assault.

A third man, 21-year-old Sean Nicholson, of Beechways, Retford, has been charged with affray.

All three men are due to appear at Mansfield Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.

Officers were called to help ambulance crews who were attempting to treat 25-year-old Mr Sinnott after he was found unconscious in the town's Market Place.

Detective Chief Inspector Rob Routledge, who is leading the investigation, said: "I would like to thank the public again for their response to our appeals and I continue to encourage anyone who saw anything on Saturday night to come forward.

"Even the smallest detail could be vital to our investigation, so please speak to us if you know something about what happened."
