Derby County are delighted to announce that the Greenbank Group have extended their partnership with the club for the 2009/10 season.

The local firm, who are market leaders in balancing fuel efficiency, will now appear on the shirt AND shorts for the entire campaign.

Nigel Clough's team will be sporting the distinctive Greenbank logo for the entire season and supporters can also purchase the mark from shopDCFC to be added to their shirts.

Derby County president and CEO Tom Glick hailed the new deal as "fantastic for both parties" and said it's great news to have Greenbank on board again.

He added: "We enjoyed a tremendous relationship with Greenbank last season and we are both delighted to have expanded the relationship for the new campaign.

"The Greenbank Group are based in the heart of Derbyshire and are market leaders in their industry.

"We share common goals and philosophies and we both have the local community at the centre of our concerns.

"I'm sure ourselves and Greenbank are going to enjoy a great season."

Greenbank are based in Swadlincote, Derbyshire, and their group sales director Peter Cobham says growing the relationship with the Rams made perfect sense.

He said: "Having our brand on the Derby County shirt last season proved to be extremely successful for us.

"We had calls from customers all over the world telling us they had seen our mark.

"Partnering with Derby County gives us tremendous exposure but also pairs us with an organisation that shares our goal of excellence and cares passionately about the local community.

"In addition, we provide a lot of stakeholder hospitality at Pride Park especially at the Rams matches and we believe it is without a shadow of a doubt one of, if not, the best venue available to promote business relationships."
