Brighton Goalie Mat Ryan To Donate £15,000 To Help Australia Bushfire Relief Efforts

Brighton and Hove Albion goalkeeper Mat Ryan will donate £15,000 to help relief efforts in the ongoing Australian bush fires after 56 saves were made in the Premier League this weekend.

Ryan pledged on Friday that he will be giving away 500 Australian dollars for every save made by Premier League goalkeepers on matchday 22.

'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 Premier League fixture for this weekend,’ the Australian number one goalkeeper wrote on social media.

'I've chosen to donate to the WIRES Wildlife Rescue emergency fund. Thank you to all for your support thus far and as a nation we really do appreciate your gratitude and generosity.

'However there continues to be homes lost, lives of both people and animals lost or in danger, along with whole communities, businesses and more.

'I hope we can continue in the same manner and continue to encourage and influence people into raising money for those affected. Fingers crossed relief is on its way.'

Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel made the most saves this weekend with seven while Ryan, Nick Pope, Paulo Gazzaniga and Orjan Nyland all recoded five saves.

The Australian bushfires, which began in September, have caused devastating destruction in South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria.

So far 27 people have lost their lives in the mayhem while countless others have been left homeless.

Ryan has been an ever-present in the top flight for Brighton this season as Graham Potter’s men lie in 14th place.
