NORTH-East international footballer Steph Houghton will star in EA Sport's football video game Fifa 16 after it was announced international women's teams are to feature for the first time.
The England captain said: "To be one of the first female players included is something we'll always be able to look back on."
"Hopefully it will help raise the profile of the women's game even further," added Houghton.
