Three Houston Texans cafeteria workers were overwhelmed with emotion when quarter-back Deshaun Watson paid them a visit to donate his first game cheque worth more than £20,000.

The women were badly affected by Hurricane Harvey which caused extreme flooding across Texas, leaving homes and lives destroyed in its path.

A rookie in the National Football League, Watson went to the cafeteria inside NRG Stadium during a break in Sunday's game against Tennessee, with one of the women breaking down in tears.

"For what you all do for us every day and never complain, I really appreciate you all, so I wanted to give my first game check to y'all to help y'all out in some type of way," Watson said.

Watson has a base salary of around £348,000 that is paid in 17 game-week instalments. The Texans shared the fantastic gesture on their official Twitter account.
