Adam Smith brings you the last in our series of special podcasts for Mental Health Awareness Week, where Premier League stars discuss the times in their careers where they’ve struggled with their mental health. 

In this episode, goalkeeper Jason Steele opens up about suffering back-to-back relegations and nearly quitting the game, to signing for Brighton in the Premier League. 

Jason speaks very openly and honestly about his mental health. If you've been affected by any of the themes covered in this podcast, advice and organisations that can help can be found at sky.com/viewersupport.

As well as listening to us, you can also watch the interviews from this series on Saturday, 17th May on Sky Sports Premier League or find us on the Sky Sports Premier League YouTube channel.
