The Central Coast Mariners have secured a back-of-shirt sponsorship deal with Search Technologies, reports, www.sportspromedia.com/.

The Washington DC-based IT services firm's logo will adorn the team's home shirt for the duration of the 2015/16 season, which got under way on Thursday.

"The goal of the Central Coast Mariners is to become the most innovative, entertaining and community minded sports club in Australia," said Mariners chief executive Shaun Mielekamp.

"To achieve this goal we need to align ourselves with like-minded partners who can help us on this journey. Since the moment we first engaged with Search Technologies we were blown away by the innovation, technology and new ideas that we believe form a perfect synergy."
