Salisbury FC has confirmed an extension to their sponsorship deal with Retain Healthcare.

Retain Healthcare's CEO, David Trowbridge, has agreed to extend the deal for at least two years.

Speaking on behalf of the club, Ian Pearson, Commercial Manager, said; 'Retain Healthcare has agreed to remain as our main sponsor for at least another two years. Retain has been on the front of our hugely popular home and away shirts and had the large sign opposite the main stand for one season already.'

From the 2022/23 season, Retain has upgraded their package further with the renaming of the club's family stand. It will now be called the Retain Family Stand and has some brilliant new signage running along the top.

Ian continued, 'When I first met David, I knew he was the right fit for Salisbury FC. He got what we were about, and I could tell this was the right partnership for all involved. He has several family links with the club, most notably his uncle, Allan Trowbridge, who has been a volunteer at the club for decades.'

'We've really enjoyed working with and welcoming the Retain Healthcare staff to the club. All have been friendly and relished the opportunity to be involved with their community football club.'

Salisbury FC Chairman Ian Hammond added, 'It is vital to the financial stability of a club like Salisbury FC to have the support of a main sponsor, and I am delighted that Retain Healthcare have not only continued their sponsorship of the club for a further two years but have expanded it to include the newly titled 'Retain Family Stand'.

'The support of David and his colleagues is so welcome and important to the club and a big thank you from all of us here at the Ray Mac to Retain Healthcare is well earned, and we are delighted that we are able to display the Retain logo on our home and away shirts.'

David Trowbridge also gave his thoughts on the extended and increased deal, 'We are delighted to continue our partnership with Salisbury Fc; we feel their values align with ours as they take pride in everything they do. Community engagement is close to our hearts, and our staff and customers benefit from going to watch their local club.

David added, 'We wish Salisbury every success over the next two seasons '.
