A nine-hole golf course is planned for St George's Park, it has emerged, as former England skipper Steven Gerrard called the training centre "boring", reports BBC Sport.

But park managing director Julie Harrington said extra facilities are planned at the Staffordshire centre.

"We have been working on plans including the provision of a golf course," she said.

Officials from St George's Park have been liaising with East Staffordshire Borough Council, and it is understood plans include building a "lodge" for teenage players.

"We have a long-term vision of how to improve and develop the site further," added Harrington.
