Ella Toone returned to her roots to officially unveil the ‘Ella Toone Pitch’ named after the England and Manchester United forward.
The new facilities are part of the new £6.2 million William Fosters Hub in Ince, just a short distance from Ella’s hometown of Tyldesley, and the complex is due to open this summer.
Toone said: “It feels just like yesterday that I was a kid kicking a ball around just a few miles from here but already so much has changed in the women’s game. It’s so exciting to see more and more women and girls wanting to play football and the amazing new facilities here will allow them to do just that.
