Holme House prisoners will get the chance to work with a professional coach from Hartlepool United.

Bosses at the Stockton jail say it will help locked-up men integrate back into society after their release.
Two more courses will take place in 2020, which will hopefully see a total of 48 newly qualified coaches, the HUCSF said.
