146 days ago we reported that a 12-year-old boy, Ronnie Wraith was left fighting for his life after being struck by lightning on a football pitch, he was hit in the chest by a lightning strike while playing in a tournament with the Hertfordshire county team in October of last year.
This resulted in the youngster suffering a cardiac arrest and his heart stopping for 30 minutes before he was stabilised and put into an induced coma.
We are delighted to confirm that he has made his return for his team just on Sunday, just 146 days after the incident. The club have tweeted the footage below.
