A CAR showroom has signed up to sponsor a football team in Coggeshall.

Westdrive Kia, which is based at Galleys Corner, Braintree, has committed to providing Coggeshall United's kit for the upcoming season.

The move is part of Kia's nationwide Gift of Kit initiative, which is supporting grassroots football across the UK.

Andy Phillips, of Westdrive Kia, said: "We are thrilled to be supporting Coggeshall United, seeing the team playing in their new kit will be a great boost to them and their supporters.

"As a local business we are passionate about giving back to our community and we look forward to seeing how Coggeshall United perform."
