YORK City Football Club Foundation has signed a deal with a top Yorkshire firm.

Leading law firm Irwin Mitchell, which has offices in Leeds, Middlesbrough and North Yorkshire have further cemented their support for the North East and Yorkshire Cerebral Palsy Football Team with a two year deal as front of shirt sponsor for the team.

Further to the launch of the new disability section for this season, York City Football Club Foundation‘s passion to promote inclusivity in sport has received support from Solicitors.

Paula Stainton, YCFC Foundation manager, said: “We want to see everyone in our community get the same opportunities to play football, and the Cerebral Palsy team plays at a national level, providing both opportunities and raising aspirations for other players to compete at such a high level.

"We are delighted that Irwin Mitchell have chosen to partner with us. The players are very excited to be able to represent in their new kits both for York City Foundation and for Irwin Mitchell.

"We’ve had a busy run of fixtures late November and early December, and are due to host fixtures for the league on January 25 at York Sport Village, where the players will get more chance to get to know our new sponsors too.”
