A FORMER academy footballer hoping to use his skills as a coach is among hundreds of students enrolling at Darlington College.
Anthony Verity has signed up for a national diploma in sports sciences after gaining ten GCSEs.
Anthony, 16, of Hurworth, said: "I love sport and have been playing football since I was about six."
Staff at the £35m college have been delighted teenagers are still enrolling on courses in the college's second year.
Catering tutor Donna Joyce said: "We expected there to be a lot of interest last year as there was the added novelty value of being a brand new college.
