A BORO player has met up with some of his fellow nationals who have been training in the UK.

Equatorial Guinea international Emilio Nsue joined eight engineers from the West African country, who have spent the past 25 weeks at Middlesbrough-based TTE, to celebrate the anniversary of their homeland’s independence.

The Atlantic Methanol Production Company technicians held an afternoon of celebrations at TTE to mark the country’s 48th year as an independent country.

The Boro man, who was accompanied by teammates Carlos De Pena and Tomas Mejias, joined the group to celebrate and also presented the technicians with their ETCAL Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Processing Industry Operations.
