Cusack’s family ‘steadfastly committed’ to justice

THE family of former Sheffield United captain Maddy Cusack say they remain “steadfastly committed” to attaining justice for her on the one-year anniversary of her death at the age of 27.

A week after Cusack’s death, her family are understood to have sent a written complaint to United outlining a range of issues she had been facing, which they claim all stemmed from her relationship with the then head coach of their women’s team Jonathan Morgan.

The club opened an independent investigation, which concluded last December finding no evidence of wrongdoing. The following month, the FA formally opened an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Cusack’s death, which remains ongoing.
