Dan Barlaser provided budding footballers with a special insight into life at Boro as he visited Billingham Town this week.

The visit – organised by club associate partner Stockton Machine Company – saw Dan answer questions before posing for pictures and signing autographs.

The event was hosted by Stockton Machine Company Managing Director Mark Smith as the Billingham Town junior players got the chance to put their questions to the midfielder.

Dan spoke about his career so far and his hopes for the season ahead with Boro, as well as the best players he has played with.

He also provided the youngsters with advice as they continue their own football journeys, giving them tips on diets, pre-match routines and post-game recovery.
