TEENAGE judo sensation Heather Morren has become a black belt at the age of 15.
Heather, from Middlesbrough, is already a force to be reckoned with having recently won medals for Great Britain.
One of the country's youngest black belts, Heather began learning judo at Middlesbrough's Southlands Centre at the age of five. In the past ten years, having reached the highest grade she could at junior level, she has progressed to senior standard where she won a black belt - a remarkable achievement for someone so young.
Coached by Mick Simpson and Mick Caveney, at Southlands, she is now preparing to compete on the senior circuit.
