Hull City footballer Moses Odubajo has been named Malaria No More UK's Special Ambassador, and will help the charity in trying to stop deaths caused by malaria.

Odubajo, whose mother and aunt died from the disease, commented 'I've been back to visit my extended family in Nigeria where malaria is still a threat to everyday life in many parts of the country. I'm sorry to say that our family took another heavy blow when my aunt, (mum's sister) also caught malaria and lost her life after mum died… This is why I'm supporting the very important work of charity Malaria No More UK. My mum would be proud to know I'm raising awareness for such a world-changing cause'.
