Burnley clinch record sponsorship deal

Premier League new-boys Burnley have clinched the biggest sponsorship deal in their history.

The Lancashire Evening Telegraph says the Clarets have reunited with Asia's leading online gambling brand, Fun88, in a two-year deal, with the new home and away shirts set to be unveiled tomorrow.

Fun88 were announced as new sponsors during Burnley's last top flight campaign in 2010, with that multi-million pound contract ending in May 2012. It was the first time Turf Moor had forged such overseas links.

Todmorden-based Premier Range were named as their successors on a two-year deal also, maintaining the Clarets' tradition of attracting local sponsors.

A figure has not been disclosed for the latest collaboration, but Burnley chief executive Lee Hoos said: "This deal with Fun88 represents the biggest shirt sponsorship deal in the club's history and we are delighted to nurture such a strong relationship with an established and successful company on the other side of the world."
