Hull City sign new training partnership

Hull City have announced that the University of Hull will continue as their official training partner for the next two seasons.

The university's branding will be worn on the club's training kit for both the 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons, and the training ground in Cottingham will be known as the University of Hull Training Ground. Meanwhile, advertising will appear on the LED hoardings at the club's KCOM Stadium during home games.

Furthermore, a new addition to the deal will see University of Hull students offered work placements at the club.

"We are thrilled that the University of Hull has committed to continuing its partnership with the club," said Joe Clutterbrook, commercial manager at Hull City. "This past year has seen lots of great activity delivered and we look forward to building on that as our relationship flourishes further.

He added "I'd like to thank the University for their ongoing support, they really are a great partner to work with."
