A TIMPERLEY teen is proving she really is an all-star, crossing the Atlantic to fulfull her footballing dreams.

Mia Walters, 18, from Timperley, is US-bound this summer, as she takes up a prestigious football scholarship.

The Altrincham College of Arts student, who currently plays for Crewe Alexandra Ladies FC, will be heading to The University of Louisiana in August to study and play for the “Warhawks” soccer team.

She will have the opportunity to combine her University studies with playing high level football for the next four years.
