The surfaces of four 3G six-a-side pitches have been re-laid and the area was officially reopened on Wednesday, October 30.
Jonny and Tommy helped out with coaching at a Boro Soccer Schools Half-Term Soccer Camp, as well having pictures taken with the youngsters.
Middlesbrough Sports Village is run by award-winning operator Everyone Active, in partnership with Middlesbrough Council, who funded the new surfaces at a cost of £170,000.
Everyone Active’s area contract manager, Paul Ayre, said: “It’s fantastic news that these re-laid pitches are ready to use, allowing people of all ages and abilities to enjoy them and get active.
“These pitches will be a brilliant facility for the local community for many years to come.”
A Middlesbrough Council spokesman said: “The artificial pitches at our fantastic Sports Village are deservedly popular, and we’re delighted to see them brought back into tip-top condition.
“Who better than a couple of Boro stars to officially launch them, and they’ll no doubt be a real inspiration to the next generation of young footballers hoping to follow in their footsteps.”
