BENN Shilleto clocked up the miles to help his Norwich Union Junior Football Club team-mates.

The eight-year-old plays on Sundays in the newly-former Under 9s team who play in the York Mitchell Junior League.

He decided he wanted to raise money for the club and organised his own sponsored bike ride to Selby and back, clocking up a total of over 30 miles and raising £200.

Team manager Phil Hutton said: "It was a wonderful achievement and it showed a real commitment to his team mates. The club and everyone was very grateful for his efforts."

The youngsters play at York University and have regular training sessions on Saturday mornings.
