Cody was stabbed to death at Crane Nightclub in Digbeth, Birmingham, on Boxing Day last year.

Two of the 23-year-old's former clubs – Bromsgrove Sporting and Stourbridge – will meet at the Victoria Ground and pay their respects just before kick-off.

Cody's death prompted a wave of tributes to the talented left-back, who was previously part of the Birmingham City academy and also played for Stratford Town, who held a minutes applause in the 23rd minute of their game with Leamington for him.

A petition called Cody's Law to make metal detectors and bleed kits compulsory at sporting and other events has received over 25,000 signatures.

Kami Carpenter, aged 21, of no fixed address; Remy Gordon, 22, of Cofton Park Drive, Rednal, and Reegan Anderson, 18, of no fixed address, will stand trial in the new year on charges of murder and affray.
