Northampton Town have announced that their Sixfields Stadium will be renamed 'The PTS Academy Stadium' from the start of next season.

The Cobblers have agreed a stadium naming rights partnership with Northampton-based company 'PTS Training Academy' for the next five years, with the name change coming into effect on June 1.

'PTS', who are based on the Moulton Park industrial estate, will also be the the club's new back of shirt sponsor.

Northampton have played at Sixfields since 1994 and the stadium has a capacity of just under 8,000.

“The club has worked extremely hard to build strong commercial foundations over the last few years and to partner ourselves with good brands nationally and locally, who share the same ethos as we do," chairman Kelvin Thomas said.

"The importance of such a relationship with PTS Training Academy again gives us that strength upon which we can continue to build.

"This is testament to the hard work that goes on behind the scenes and shows that off the pitch we are strong."
