HARROGATE Town are getting in a whirl ahead of the new season following the announcement of Jacuzzi UK as the club's new sponsors.

The Conference-chasing outfit unveiled the three-year deal at Wetherby Road yesterday - with Jacuzzi replacing InTechnology, who will remain connected with the club.

No figure has been released for the deal, but it is believed to exceed their previous deal with InTechnology and be a UniBond League record.

"This is another bonus for the club," said boss John Reed. "One of the directors, Rob Hassell has instigated this deal and he deserves a massive pat on the back.

"I don't get told any of the figures or anything like that, but I know that this will be a three-year deal and is a huge thing for the club."

The news of new sponsors comes after a busy pre-season for the Wetherby Roaders, with former Premiership winner Mark Atkins spearheading the arrival of five players.

Former York City striker Glenn Naylor, Danny Lowe, James Riordan and Liam Sutcliffe have also signed, with Scott Bonsall and Ashley Connor agreeing new contracts.
