Jamie Bloem pays tribute to Danny Jones
Rugby league's Danny Jones was "always happy, always looking on the brighter side of life" says referee and former player Jamie Bloem.
Bloem, who first came to know Danny Jones during his early career at Halifax, described him as a "funny guy, always ready to make people smile as they got into training in the morning".
The 29-year-old Keighley Cougars player collapsed after being replaced in a match at London Skolars and was treated at the ground before being taken to the Royal Free Hospital. He leaves behind a wife and five-month-old twins.
