Teenager given community award by Wolves

A teenager who is a good "role model to his peers" has been given a community award by Wolverhampton Wanders.

Kenzie was chosen as Community Captain by head coach Rob Edwards, for the positive example he sets at a community project called Premier League Kicks.

The 17-year-old was also given a tour of the training ground, where he met the first team squad, before being surprised with the award.

"Everything is just crazy to me, I had no idea this was happening," Kenzie said.

"I'm just very privileged and very thankful to everyone for supporting me to get this opportunity and award," he added.

Premier League Kicks is a free programme funded by the Premier League Charitable Fund and aims to engage children and young people from all backgrounds and abilities in regular football activities.

"He optimises everything that Kicks is about, he's a role model to his peers," said Tom Warren, general manger of the Wolves Foundation.

"He displays all the characteristics you'd want to see in a young man."

Edwards added: "Sometimes you can get caught up in the day to day of the job and sometimes you don't realise how much of an impact we can have, football can have and how much good can come from it."
