There’s nothing unusual about Kei Kamara enjoying a kick about at Middlesbrough FC’s training ground.
But the Boro forward was today joined by a special guest from his own home town.
Patrick Jamiru, of Kenema, showed off some fancy footwork of his own during the meet-up.
With a smile Kei was quick to point out football is a “religion” back in Sierra Leone.
Patrick is the director of Caritas Kenema, an organisation helping those living in poverty in the West African country.
His visit to the UK is part of a link-up with CAFOD - the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development.
Together the organisations hope to encourage people to dig deep to help them to support the poverty stricken region.
Kei, who himself grew up in Kenema before moving to America, said: “I always like to help people involved in helping Sierra Leone and the fact that it’s not just my country but also my birth town makes it even more special.”
