San Jose Earthquakes have signed a shirt sponsorship deal with Sutter Health, reports, www.sportspromedia.com/.

The non-profit healthcare company's logo will appear on the front of the Californian side's matchday jerseys for a 'multi-year' period from the start of the 2016 MLS season. The partnership will also be promoted through a range of community activities and healthy living campaigns.

No financial terms were released, but the deal is likely to be worth a seven-figure sum.

"I am thrilled to welcome Sutter Health as our exclusive healthcare and official jersey partner," said San Jose Earthquakes president Dave Kaval.

"Our organisations share a commitment and dedication to the community that makes this partnership a great fit. We are looking forward to a long and fruitful partnership that not only benefits our organisations but also the greater Northern California community. Additionally, the Sutter Health logo looks fantastic on our jerseys!"
