next again on board as key sponsor

Leicestershire County Cricket Club is delighted to announce that next is again sponsoring the club throughout the 2016 season.

The multinational clothing, footwear and home product specialists, who have their headquarters in Enderby, have been a key and valued partner of the club over the years and are becoming our Charlie Fox Club ambassadors in 2016.

Our arrangement will see Charlie Fox Club Members receive an exciting goodie bag ahead of the new campaign featuring some treats from next.

It costs just £10 to sign up anybody aged under 16 for Leicestershire CCC Charlie Fox Membership for the entire season - and that includes all of our exciting NatWest T20 Blast matches – so it is excellent value for money.

next is also sponsoring Leicestershire CCC fast bowler Ollie Freckingham ahead of a big season for the club. The seamer took 21 wickets at 24.76 in five first-class matches last year and also made an impression when playing NatWest T20 Blast for the Foxes.

The company is also again kindly providing suits and formal wear for Leicestershire CCC players and office staff so everybody will look smart at the Fischer County Ground this summer.

Leicestershire CCC Commercial Director Jim Overend said: “It is brilliant to have next on board with us again, the company has been a great supporter of Leicestershire County Cricket Club over the years and we appreciate everything they do for us.

“We were looking for a partner for our Charlie Fox Club and next are the ideal sponsors of it, as well as being the sponsor of Ollie Freckingham. It promises to be an exciting season and we are stronger for having the support of the local business community, including next.”

* The club has a small number of players still available to sponsor for the 2016 season.
