Southampton striker Danny Ings admits he's taking a property management course.

His father, Shayne Ings, a self-employed bricklayer from Netley Abbey, helped lay the foundations in this field of work when his son was just a teenager.

Ings told the Daily Echo: “I'm trying to learn something with my spare time.

“My dad's a builder and I've got a family full of builders so it's probably something I'll go into once I've finished football.

“I wasn't the best at school, so I'm finding it quite difficult. But I'm learning a lot and trying to prepare for the future.

“I worked with my dad on site when I was about 13.

“He took me out once and I think I lasted about two hours – I got fed up of making his cups tea and him moaning about it!

“Now it's just solely advice and asking him where I can go with it."
