A NORTH-EAST teenager has been selected to play for the England volleyball team.
Ross Enfield, of Darlington, will travel with the England Under-19 junior volleyball team to Barbados in April.
The 18-year-old, who lives in Waltham Close, has only been playing the sport for just over four years.
He combines his volleyball career with his studies at Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College, where he is doing A-levels in PE, psychology and geography.
Ross said: "You can make a career out of volleyball abroad and I would love to do this, but I would also like to be a PE teacher."
Although Ross has been selected by England, he still has to pay his own travelling and living expenses when he is in Barbados.
One local firm, E Walton Transport, has already agreed to sponsor him, but anyone else who can help should contact him on (07941) 904808
