The sales offices at Middleton and Bognor & Aldwick, together with the local Henry Adams Lettings branch, have joined forces to support the young players.
“The sponsorship money we’ve offered is being used to buy the players’ new home and away kits so they’ll look even smarter as they score all their winning goals this season,” said Riley, who used to play for the team and whose younger brother Matt is now the Colts’ goalkeeper.

“I thoroughly enjoyed playing for the Colts and I can see the same enthusiasm and commitment in the current team this season so we wish them all the best in their forthcoming matches.
“Henry Adams is also a sponsor of the rugby clubs at Chichester, Horsham and Pulborough so I’m delighted we’re now moving into the football arena,” added Riley, manager of the lettings division at Henry Adams Bognor & Aldwick branch.
