Aston Villa have signed the biggest sponsorship deal in their history after agreeing to a partnership with FXPro Financial Services Limited.

The three-year deal with the global retail broker will start next month, while Acorns, the charity which currently has its name on the front of the club’s shirts, will become Villa’s official charity.

"We are extremely pleased and excited to enter into this new partnership with FxPro," said Paul Faulkner, chief executive of Aston Villa Football Club. "

A lot of hard work has gone into the completion of this agreement and we believe it will be a good partnership for the club.

“It reflects our continued growth as a club after a season in which we finished sixth in the Premier League for the third straight year while twice reaching Wembley - competing in the Carling Cup final and FA Cup semi-final.

"Equally, we are pleased to confirm that Acorns will be our official charity partner and in meetings involving both FxPro and Acorns a close working alliance has already been forged."

Denis Sukhotin, Director of FxPro, added: "Aston Villa are one of the great names in the Premier League, with a following extending far beyond the UK. We are proud to partner with Aston Villa as the club continues to work hard to achieve success."
