Durham FC women goalkeeper Helen Alderson set to embark on a three-month charity work in Ghana

Durham Women FC goalkeeper Helen Alderson is expected to embark on human right work in Ghana.

The shot-stopper will spend three months in the West African nation as part of a volunteering project on the continent.

She will depart in March which means the gloveswoman will miss a chunk of the FA  WSL Spring Series.

She will, however, return in June ready for pre-season ahead of the 2017/18 FA WSL season.

Alderson will spend her three months in Ghana working as a Team Leader on a volunteering project based around human rights and education.

Her team will consist of half British and half Ghanian volunteers, with the keeper leading the team alongside a colleague from Ghana.
