Torquay United centre-back Chris Todd has announced that he has been diagnosed with leukaemia. The former Swansea and Exeter defender broke the news to his team-mates before Tuesday night's victory over Lewes.

The 27-year-old Welshman was told the news after a blood test which followed an operation on a groin injury earlier this month.

"I am determined to beat this illness and to be playing for Torquay as soon as I can," Todd told BBC Radio Devon.

Todd joined Torquay from Exeter at the start of last season, soon after manager Paul Buckle made the same switch.

"This is my biggest battle," added Todd. "I've had some good battles on the pitch but this is going to be the biggest one.

I was talking to him the other day after the Oxford game (I sponsor Mustafa Carayol) and got invited to a sponsor's dinner. But you could tell he was Welsh from his accent.

He said that if everything goes to plan, He'll be playing in March

Yes, I was talking to him. I get invited to sponsor meals every Sunday, But because I live in Plymouth I often don't go, But after the Oxford game I stayed at my Grandad's, and he lives about a 10 minute walk from the ground.

Hopefully he will be playing in March.
