Albion in the Community's Nathan Bowen is heading off to Chile to manage England at this year's Homeless World Cup.

The health and development officer has volunteered to take charge of the Three Lions, a side he has previously captained during the 2007 version of the Homeless World Cup in Copenhagen, after enduring his very own fight with homelessness.

Nathan told seagulls.co.uk, "To represent your country in anything is a really proud moment."I feel I've been very lucky, but it's also good to show the young people I regularly work with that if you work hard and stick with it, then you will get more opportunities."
AITC chief executive, Michael Edwards, added, “Nathan's story is a shining example of the work that we do, so he is the ideal person to represent us in Chile and be part of this project.

"The fact that he has been chosen speaks volumes for what he has achieved and is also global recognition for the work of AITC."
