Northern Ireland's captain for the forthcoming Homeless World Cup has paid tribute to Street Soccer NI, a charity working with homeless people and disadvantaged groups across Northern Ireland.
He said: “I have really got a lot from Street Soccer since I joined. I made a lot of friends. It gave me a lot of confidence. Street Soccer NI works with over 200 people every week across Northern Ireland offering free access to weekly football sessions for men and women. Once players engage in the football they get offered support with housing, employment, education, addictions and more. They currently have weekly sessions in Belfast, Derry/Londonderry, Downpatrick, Coleraine and Bangor.
