The mother of a semi-professional footballer who was stabbed to death in a Birmingham nightclub has paid tribute to her "youngest boy, best friend and her angel".

Tracey Fisher released a statement after two men were convicted of the murder of her son Cody Fisher in December 2022.

She said: "Cody's father, brother and the rest of his living family who miss him dearly are suffering. Cody truly never had a bad bone in his body. He loved teaching young children.

"He loved, cared for and respected his family. He had more living to do and so much more love and kindness to give to the world.

"Cody taught us all so much about ourselves and we miss him every single minute of every day.

"I will not get to see him go on to do more amazing things, like inspire many more children and adults as he used to do, have holidays with him and go to his footy matches every week to see him kick a ball, like he'd done from the day he could walk.

"Sadly, I will never see my son live on through his children and as such never enjoy any grandchildren from him.

"Cody Fisher was brave, fearless and the most genuine soul I knew. I had the pleasure and honour to call him my son. May you rest in peace my beautiful boy."

Cody was fatally stabbed at Crane nightclub in Digbeth on Boxing Day in 2022.

Remy Gordon, 23, of Cofton Park Drive, Rednal, and Kami Carpenter, 22, of Owens Croft, Kings Norton, were found guilty of his murder following a ten-week trial at Birmingham Crown Court.

Reegan Anderson, 19 and from Erdington, was cleared of murder but found guilty of affray.

They will be sentenced at a later date.
