Company director Callum Thompson said: "We are delighted to continue as South Shields FC's first-team shirt sponsor. Business Energy Claims is based locally in South Tyneside, and so we are proud to support the club with its continued success.

"Being shirt sponsor last season was fantastic for us and gave us a great level of exposure, and we look forward to that continuing into the 2019-2020 season."

David Mitchell, South Shields FC's commercial director, said: "It's great to have Business Energy Claims signed up for another year's sponsorship with the club.

“It is a new company which sees the benefits of being associated with the football club.

"We have had a hugely positive partnership over the last year and hope that continues for the foreseeable future."
