BURNLEY received their second sponsorship boost of the week with the news that James Hargreaves have renewed their deal for the North Stand.

The local plumbing company's present deal was due to expire at the end of this season, but they have now agreed fresh terms for a further five years at an increased amount.

Burnley FC chief executive, Dave Edmundson, said: "James Hargreaves have sponsored the stand since its inception and we're delighted they have agreed to continue."

Gordon Rothwell, MD of James Hargreaves, added: "We're thrilled to be able to continue our long standing association with the club.

"We've got a five-year commitment to the club and we are pleased to come to an agreement.

"We are a local firm and to be associated with one of the stands at Burnley Football Club has been very beneficial for us."
