Scarborough Athletic FC announced a sponsorship deal with the Y50 Group, which will see the company’s name adorn the club’s first team and reserve team strips this season.

Scarborough Athletic Football Club was formed on 25 June 2007 following the winding up of Scarborough FC

The group, which is owned and run by Arthur Harris, is backing Scarborough Athletic this season in a significant deal for the club.

Mr Harris said: “The directors of Y50 are very pleased to be associated with Scarborough Athletic. Having seen the unbelievable efforts the supporters and the board have gone to in order to maintain a football club in the town it was felt that if we could offer some sort of support we should do.

“We wish the club all the very best for the coming season, hopefully the very loyal supporters will continue to make the journey to Bridlington but I am sure we all look forward to a return to playing in Scarborough in the very near future.”

Boro chairman Simon Cope said: “We are extremely delighted to have the backing of Arthur Harris and his company, and I’m excited that our relationship going forward will be a positive one.

“The deal signifies that businesses with local links are behind Scarborough Athletic FC, and that can only bode very well for the future.”
