Meet child footballing prodigy, Destiny Ditchburn

Seven-year-old football mad Destiny Ditchburn from Blyth, Northumberland is en route to becoming a footy star. She started out playing every Saturday as part of Blyth Town FC and travelled down to West Ham United to become a mascot, where she wowed scouts and became part of the West Ham girls' team - and is set to train with the under-tens squad from February 2017.

Destiny's favourite position on the pitch is defence and she loves nothing more than tackling the boys and perfecting her technique. She is inspired by fellow Blyth player and England ladies defence and midfield player Lucy Bronze... who just so happened to be here today to give Destiny a big surprise!
