Carlisle United have sealed a shirt sponsorship deal with the housing developer run by former Blues owner Fred Story.

Story Homes have extended their back-of-shirt sponsorship with United for another three years, the club have announced.

The deal will see the Story Homes logo on United's shirts until the end of the 2027/28 season.

It further underlines the strong relationship between the Blues and Story, whose contracting firm had the leading role in the recent major improvements to the East Stand at Brunton Park.

Blues owner and chairman Tom Piatak has expressed his delight at the shirt sponsorship news.

"Their [Story Homes'] ongoing support for the club is fantastic," he told the club website.

"We truly appreciate that long-term backing and we look forward to continuing our successful partnership together.

"Having them on board as we develop, grow and invest in new facilities is really important to us.”

Fred Story added: “We are proud to support Carlisle United as the official back of shirt sponsor for the next three years. 

"This partnership reflects our commitment to investing in our local community and championing the teamwork, dedication and perseverance that football represents.

"We’re excited to cheer on Carlisle United this season and be part of their journey both on and off the field.”

United's main front of shirt sponsor is Aqua Pura.
