A statement from chairman Mike Townley and vice chair Josh Guilmant said: "It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of one of our most cherished athletes, Robbie Fitzgibbon.
"Though Robbie will no longer run alongside us, share his stories, or lift our spirits with his humour and kindness, his presence will continue to be felt in everything we do as a club.Fitzgibbon had been a standout talent at junior level, winning the English schools 1500m title in 2014 and finishing fifth in the 1500m final at the European Athletics U20 Championships.
"Robbie gave so much to the club, and we know the club meant just as much to him. It is difficult to find the right words in moments like these. His final international appearance had come at the European Indoor Championships in Glasgow in 2019, where he suffered an ankle injury which prevented him from returning to the same level.
