YOUNG rugby fans met their heroes in their new home.

Widnes Viking players Manase Manuokafoa and Lloyd White visited the new Stewart Milnes Homes Bowers Place development to celebrate a new sponsorship.

The house developer has become pitch side advertisers for the super league club.

Former Widnes Vikings player Paul George has moved into one of the houses with sons Charlie and Lewis.

The boys chatted to the players as they showed them round.

Lloyd White said: “We were really impressed with the new show home.

“The living room makes the perfect spot for families to gather round and watch sport and the outdoor space is ideal for encouraging children to get out and throw a rugby ball about.”

Lynne Vogel, from Stewart Milnes Homes, added: “The Vikings are such an integral part of the Widnes community we are delighted to be supporting them until the end of the season.”
