Chesterfield FC commercial manager and club legend Jim Brown welcomed the firm's backing.

"We are delighted to be working in partnership with Avant Homes, who have some exciting plans in place," he said.

"I’d like to thank managing director Stuart Rowlands and his colleagues for supporting the club with their valued sponsorship.”

Mr Rowlands added: "We are big supporters of Chesterfield FC and so we are delighted to be sponsoring the team’s training kit for the next two years.

"We wish the club every success for the coming season.”
