Ryan to donate money for every Premier League save in wake of Australian bushfires

Brighton's Australian goalkeeper Mat Ryan has vowed to donate AU$500 (£262/€308) for every save made in the Premier League this weekend towards bushfire relief efforts Down Under.

Ryan's country has been in the grips of a bushfire crisis for weeks now with a number of lives lost and surrounding wildlife left devastated.

Having grown up in Sydney and now a regular for the Socceroos, Ryan is eager to offer his support and will be hoping he and other Premier League keepers can pull off a number of saves over the next few days.

"In light of the devastation caused by the bushfires back home, I’m donating 500 Australian dollars for every registered save by all Premier League goalkeepers across every fixture for this weekend," Ryan wrote on Instagram.
