YOUNGSTERS at a Teesside primary school were thrilled to get a visit from former Lioness Jess Clark.

The children at Stockton’s Rosebrook Primary School have teamed up with the England women’s international football player in a bid to raise vital funds for the school.

Jess, who won over 50 caps for the Lionesses and scored 11 goals, was guest of honour recently at the Rudyard Avenue school.

The athlete, who was a member of the 2011 Women’s World Cup team, was representing Activekids UK - a national body that was set up to inspire the next generation to be more active and to help promote a healthier lifestyle, both physically and mentally.
