Hamilton Accies Football Club have secured a major £108,000 sponsorship deal that will see the stadium change its name.
Glasgow-based tax credit consultancy ZLX Business Solutions is the club's new stadium sponsors in a deal that will see the company invest heavily over the next three seasons.
The deal was secured by Accies commercial director, Colin McGowan, who is delighted to have secured such a deal that will help ensure the further development of both the club's first team and their existing elite youth academy.
McGowan told Lanarkshire Live: "This is a magnificent three-year deal worth over £100,000 for Hamilton Academical Football Club.
"The deal will see a £36,000 per year investment over the next 36 months, as well as existing sponsors on top of that, and is going to make a massive difference – £100,000 over three years is a lot of money.
“For a company to do this in the middle of the struggle that people are in is astonishing and we thoroughly look forward to working with ZLX and taking forward Hamilton Accies, after all every penny might be the difference between surviving and not surviving."
"We were proud to unveil our new ZLX Stadium name and sponsorship boards around the ground last week and we will continue to work hard to further secure commercial funding for our club."

ZLX founder and owner Steve McCallion explained: "Last year there were five companies who were on the brink of administration, who didn't know they qualified for an R&D tax credit.
"Once we got them it, it saved four out of five companies, directly because of the money we secured for them."
