RADCLIFFE FC's Education and Football Academy has been boosted by a sponsorship deal.
They will don the name of the Village Hotel in Bury on their shirts after the two parties agreed a deal.
The academy is based at Radcliffe Football Club's Neuven Stadium and provides football coaching and academic education for youngsters aged between 16 and 18 years old.
In the classroom the students aim to qualify for a level three BTEC in sport, while on the pitch they play in the Northern Premier League Football Academy [NPLFA] programme.
After two years they can further their education by studying for a degree in sport.
The NPLFA education/football programme is currently in its fifth season and Radcliffe FC have had more than 100 students take part.
Five have made their first-team debuts with many gaining the BTEC qualification, which is aimed to assist them in future employment.
