Former Derby and West Brom Goalkeeper Russell Hoult, 52, in Palliative Care After Terminal PSC and Bile Duct Cancer Diagnoses

His children are raising money for AMMF with a Leicester half-marathon on October 26.

Overview

  • Family statements say he was diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis in September 2023 and stage four cholangiocarcinoma in August 2024, with both now deemed terminal.
  • He is receiving end-of-life care, which his daughter calls incredibly hard to accept, and he is described as comfortable with good and bad days while remaining positive.
  • Twins Kayleigh and Carter, both 24, plan to run the Leicester Half Marathon to support AMMF, the UK charity dedicated to bile duct cancer.
  • The JustGiving fundraiser has passed £7,100 with more than 320 donations as contributions continue to grow.
  • Hoult is widely remembered for helping Derby win promotion in 1995/96 and for significant spells that included Premier League appearances with West Brom.
