A Norwich City player says he is proud to support an initiative that is shining a light on mental health and suicide prevention.

Emi Marcondes carried the Baton of Hope through Carrow Road in Norwich - one of 20 locations on a UK tour to spark conversations and encourage people to seek support.

The baton tour, supported by Norwich Samaritans, set off from the Norfolk Showground, with a stop at the Plantation Gardens - finishing with a lap of the Canaries' pitch.

"To be able to put some attention on this is something that's really great for us as footballers - and for me personally - like many of you that are here today it is something in my family, around my friends," Marcondes said.
